Hey,

If I'm not mistaken pl2303 based cables have/had problems handling baudrates
above 115200, there was a recent update into the kernel tree, but I've never
tested it.

If you have FTDI based cable try it out, i have one based on FT4232 and it
works flawlessly, pl2303 cable gave me a lot of trouble before.

You can still run osmocom-bb on 115200 cable but I believe it's not going to
be sufficient for sniffing and i think you'll need to patch the code a bit
for 115200 to work (perhaps someone from osmocom can guide here?).

Cheers,
Lukas
