prolific support is in the 2.6 kernels, I have yet to meet a USB driver
that isn't plug and play under modern 2.6 kernels. no additional drivers
required 

Plug it in and it should appear as /dev/ttyUSB0 

(assuming it's the first USB serial device )

dmesg will show you more

If you need some more help on any of this please contact me directly 

I am deeply familiar with Centos and redhat.

Don‘t complain. Nobody will understand. Or care. And certainly don‘t try
to fix the situation yourself. It‘s dangerous. Leave it to a highly
untrained, unqualified, expendable professional.
