seems so....

/lib/modules/2.6.5-7.111-default/kernel/drivers/usb/serial> ls
belkin_sa.ko        empeg.ko        io_ti.ko   keyspan.ko      kobil_sct.ko  pl2303.ko       visor.ko
cyberjack.ko        ftdi_sio.ko     ipaq.ko    keyspan_pda.ko  mct_u232.ko   safe_serial.ko  whiteheat.ko
digi_acceleport.ko  io_edgeport.ko  ir-usb.ko  kl5kusb105.ko   omninet.ko    usbserial.ko


but from that list I would assume there are usb-to-serial adapter which
are better supported then others -- but maybe safe_serial and usbserial
are a lowest common featureset support?
