We need to absolutely sure, if kernel have necessary modules compiled in. If it's *not* the case, I'm sure Pali will like to add them to kernel-power. If modules are present, problem lies somewhere else.

I haven't tried such adapters (yet), but what "happen" when You try it with any desktop linux PC? What is the expected outcome, in easy words? Isn't it that You also need drivers/modules for things connected via serial?

I hope someone more knowledgeable on that topic will help here, as I'm [n]*perfectly sure*[/b] it's achievable, without much effort.
