tz's makefile worked like a charm. For those who don't want to download the linux kernel sources for two files, here are the two files and a modified version of tz's makefile (with a 'make install' option added).
To install: 1) open a terminal window 2) install the latest kernel headers: # sudo apt-get install kernel-headers-generic 3) download and uncompress the attached file ftdifix.tar.gz 4) change to the directory where you uncompressed the file, e.g. # cd ftdifix 5) build the driver: # make 6) install the driver # sudo make install Until this is fixed, you may have to repeat these steps each time you install a new version of the kernel. ** Attachment added: "ftdifix.tar.gz" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/36889614/ftdifix.tar.gz -- ftdi serial driver broken in linux-image-2.6.31-14-generic (2.6.31-14.48) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/460857 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
