The low cost cables use counterfeit Prolific USB chips. Third party cables are available for most radios with a range of costs and quality. These cables generally work ok with Linux. The exception to this are the very low cost USB cables that come with many Chinese radios that use a counterfeit Prolific USB to serial chip that has a number of driver problems with recent versions of Microsoft Windows. However, these are usually the most expensive and are not always the most convenient (because of a lack of USB, etc). In some cases, the manufacturer of your radio produces the highest quality cable for programming. I much prefer this information to be user-maintained and contributed!
