setserial /dev/ttyUSB0 (prolific 2303) -> Cannot get serial

Strange thing...
$ setserial -v /dev/ttyUSB0
Cannot get serial info: Invalid argument
I'm using prolific USB-RS232 converter:
# lsmod | grep pl2303
pl2303 16516 0
usbserial 25632 1 pl2303
# uname -a
Linux coyote 2.6.25-gentoo-r7 #1 SMP Thu Jul 24 22:36:31 CEST 2008 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
the port is working fine, i can use minicom terminal, GPS software, serial port via WINE probably all but setserial
Any ideas what can be wrong?
