That seems to be exactly it:

It seems so. On adm64 it reports as "full speed":
port 5 addr 5: full speed, power 100 mA, config 1, USB-Serial 
Controller(0x2303), Prolific Technology Inc.(0x067b), rev 3.00
Also, the Prolific page states for all 2303 models "On chip USB 1.1 
transceiver".

I connected a USB 2.0 hub, and now it works, kind of:
Controller /dev/usb1:
addr 1: high speed, self powered, config 1, EHCI root hub(0x0000), 
Generic(0x0000), rev 1.00
 port 1 addr 2: high speed, self powered, config 1, USB2.0 Hub(0x0608), Genesys 
Logic(0x05e3), rev 77.64
  port 1 powered
  port 2 powered
  port 3 addr 3: full speed, power 100 mA, config 1, USB-Serial 
Controller(0x2303), Prolific Technology Inc.(0x067b), rev 3.00
  port 4 powered

I have to first plug the adapter into the USB hub, and then connect the USB hub 
to the Pi. If I first plug in the hub and then the adapter, the adapter is not 
detected. Same with unplugging; if I only unplug the adapter nothing happens; 
usbdevs still shows it present. I have to unplug the USB hub.

Even if I connect 4 adapters to the hub, and then connect the hub, all get 
detected now:
Controller /dev/usb0:
addr 1: high speed, self powered, config 1, EHCI root hub(0x0000), 
Generic(0x0000), rev 1.00
 port 1 addr 2: high speed, self powered, config 1, USB2.0 Hub(0x0608), Genesys 
Logic(0x05e3), rev 77.64
  port 1 addr 3: full speed, power 100 mA, config 1, USB-Serial 
Controller(0x2303), Prolific Technology Inc.(0x067b), rev 3.00
  port 2 addr 4: full speed, power 100 mA, config 1, USB-Serial 
Controller(0x2303), Prolific Technology Inc.(0x067b), rev 3.00
  port 3 addr 5: full speed, power 100 mA, config 1, USB-Serial Controller 
D(0x2303), Prolific Technology Inc.(0x067b), rev 4.00
  port 4 addr 6: full speed, power 100 mA, config 1, USB-Serial 
Controller(0x2303), Prolific Technology Inc.(0x067b), rev 3.00


Thanks for the help!

Robert
