well, i cannot guarantee perfection or that you might not face issues -
so therefore this isnt some form of binding contractual recommendation
but I havent had any problems with the keyspan single and quad port adapters
(eg USA-19HS)

though I did find a bug in the linux kernel in 2.6.x which after much
trawling and author emails turns out that the quad port device has some
identity issues - fixed with recent kernels.
