Who knows, again, the generic driver supports "no" line settings.  So
whatever the chip starts up in is what you get.  But you have no way of
knowing what settings it is starting up in.

Try adding the vendor and product id to the different common drivers in
the kernel (pl2303 and ftdi_sio are two good ones to start with) and see
how well they work.

Try taking it apart and seeing if you can read what chip is in the
device, that's probably the best way to do this.
