I experience similar problems with my USB-to-Serial dongle:

tikku:~$ cat /dev/ttyUSB0
cat: /dev/ttyUSB0: Input/output error
tikku:~$ lsmod | grep pl23 
pl2303                 14820  0 
usbserial              27948  2 pl2303
usbcore               124656  9 pl2303,cdc_ether,usbnet,cdc_acm,hci_usb,usbserial,ehci_hcd,uhci_hcd
tikku:~$ 

Using 2.6.28-rc2-wl from wireless-testing tree. I didn't have any problems with 2.6.27-wl.

My dongle:

Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0557:2008 ATEN International Co., Ltd UC-232A Serial Port [pl2303]
