BUT, of interest, it looks like the hardware in the middle of the cable
turns out to be two Prolific USB-to-serial adapters back to back in
Ethernet Emulator mode... So, while this WILL work, it was also suggested
already, and failed the "Not ethernet" requirement in the original problem
statement...
Yes, the only place where this is "serial" is on the two USB links to
the Prolific PL25A1 device.
For those that are interested, I took a quick look at the datasheet.
The PL25A1 is basically two USB bulk endpoints back to back, with large
fifos in between. There's also an 8032 microcontroller. The
combination of the usbnet and plusb kernel modules makes this look like
a simple network interface.
