I think the problem is that folks have paid good money for these cables, so expect them to just work. I'm fairly certain that if vendors were flying the Jolly Roger then most here would find another vendor. And getting rid of dodgy cables only because they don't play well with Linux doesn't directly promote the use of only genuine devices!

If the chip is "Genuine", the currently available "Official" driver, /will/ work.
Yes, I too have accumulated some dodgy chip driven adapters, just as everyone I suspect has. I am slowly replacing them as I find them, not because they don't work (they work just fine under Linux, for now.) But because they all have the same identity and no serial number, making the use of multiple devices and nailing their feet to the numeric floor with Udev rules, rather troublesome.
