The Keyspan adapters need to have firmware loaded on them before they
become functional.  If you poke around for the Entrega support (Keyspans
are relabelled Entregas, essentially) you can find the necessary firmware
downloader.  Doug Ambrisko had some tools to that effect posted on his
website. I have a USA19W that works fine in BSD.  Note that Keyspan
themselves has linux drivers with the firmware posted, and Entrega went
under a few years ago.

Not sure why you'd want a QW, it only does 38400 or 57600 baud. The 19W
does 115200 and faster :)
