Bought last October for use in a Mac G4, but didn't work well (only 
Windows drivers provided, though use in a Mac was advertised).

$20

Can you either return to the seller or find drivers on the net?

There are no Mac drivers for it. I have installed instead just a USB tp serial
adapter. No, I cannot return it. I'm offering to sell it at a discounted
price.

Could a linux driver be used on a Mac with OS X?  Can you compile a driver
from source code for Mac?  

I can't. But Mac OSX does have relations to unix, linux and others.
Wanna buy that card? Know someone that would like to have more serial 
ports? Where are all those that should lust after this bargain...

We have serial ports in all our computers already but I will keep you in mind
if a non-Mac person wants to add one.  We know a Mac person who had to get
a serial-to-USB adaptor for his PDA.  PCs usually come with 2 ports, or a port
and a header for a second one.  What do you plug into your port?

I have an old PDA, an X-10 transmitter, and a camera, that need serial 
ports. I use a 3-way (DB-25) serial switch to choose which device is 
connected.

Kiwanis has serial-to-USB adaptors for $2 or $5 (I forget).  The one we got
works in linux, but we have serial ports.

I'm using a USB-serial adapter. 

I was suggesting a cheap source if you need another one.

Re resp:3: Linux and OS X are not really related on the device driver
level.  OS X is based on BSD, but I think it uses a different kernel
than any open-source BSD version.
