Most recent kernel where this bug did not occur: Unknown
Distribution: FC4
Problem Description:

 Using 2 serial adapters based on the pl2303 (HX, I beleive) chipset.  First
device works fine, second is detected but non-functional (no TX/RX from a
modem). I've tried switching the order they are attached (both adapters do work).

Can you load the driver with "modprobe pl2303 debug=1" to see if we can get
some good debugging messages when you try to access the second device?  I 
tested this a long time ago, and it should work...

Just attach the kernel log output for when you do this please.

Please reopen this bug if:
- it is still present in kernel 2.6.17 and
- you can provide the requested data.
