I'm on the market for a USB serial adapter. The Keyspan USA-19HS gets a
lot of good reviews for its performance, but I've noticed previous Keyspan
models have a history of not supporting FreeBSD due to firmware issues.
The 19HS is listed in /usr/src/sys/dev/usb/usbdevs with nothing noted about
firmware (as opposed to the older 19WQ). Can I assume that the firmware
problems of the past aren't relevant to the current 19HS?

Can anyone confirm if a USA-19HS works on FreeBSD 7-STABLE right now?

Since you're still in the market: I've heard wonderful things about any
of the USB serial adapters that use the Prolific chip; see uplcom(4).
Others apparently are known for dropping characters on occasion.
