Hi Brad,

Firstly, I steer clear of USB serial adaptors due to the unreliability
i have experienced from models I've used.

Secondly, if the firmware is GPL, this is a problem since GPL is not
compatible with BSD.  On top of that the firmware is a sort of binary
blob, which will never be used in any OpenBSD system.

Your best bet is a clean-room reverse engineer.

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
