According to ASIX product brief, MCS7840 has 512 byte buffer. Pretty
much for an UART I think, which should make 115k2 baud connections  with
less than 30 transfers/s work, or am I missing something?

I think I also have at least one FTDI adapter arround, so I'd happily
testing if I can make it compile on RELENG_9_2.

Thanks,
