Detected _instantly_ on 2.6.28 here:

[59750.560209] usb 1-1: USB disconnect, address 5
[59750.561888] pl2303 ttyUSB0: pl2303 converter now disconnected from ttyUSB0
[59750.561970] pl2303 1-1:1.0: device disconnected
[59752.904108] usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 6
[59753.059546] usb 1-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
[59753.061460] pl2303 1-1:1.0: pl2303 converter detected
[59753.114738] usb 1-1: pl2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0

(the 3-second delay basically was me waiting before reinserting)


Bus 001 Device 006: ID 067b:2303 Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2303 Serial Port

Label: "GMUS-03 USB Serial Adapter"

Detection test only, _not_ used for actual serial communication currently...


But there are more PL2303 adapters than flies on this planet,
thus someone else also has some input on this?
