Hi. I'm trying to connect up my Debian Wheezy netbook to a cisco console on a Catalyst 3750. The rollover cable connects to a Keyspan USA-19QW, which converts to USB. Apparently this keyspan is so old, that the firmware isn't available even in Wheezy nonfree. (I think the newer ones are.) Since I'm not really happy with using nonfree firmware anyway, I'm wondering if there is some other serial to USB adapter brand out there I could buy that would work out of the box. The HCL list here isn't too helpful because it is organized by brand name, and I don't know what brand name I'm looking for.
Update: A local shop has one of these Manhattan 205146 adapters for $25, which are supposedly Linux friendly out of the box:

Thought I'd give that a try.
