[Bug 460857] Re: ftdi serial driver broken in linux-image-2.6.31-14-generic (2.6.31-14.48)

Go ahead and gloat - you deserve it!  But when you're done, how about
being a good, upstanding Linux community member and post some of your
system specs so that I can compare them with mine? :^)

Specifically, what kernel are you running ("uname -a") and what
processor?  A copy of /var/log/messages after a fresh boot (and after
plugging in the Arduino) would help too.

P.S., I contacted the support engineer at FTDI, and he said that the
latest (1.5.0) driver should work fine under 64-bit Ubuntu, but he
hasn't actually tried it (says he doesn't have a 64-bit machine to try
it on).  He also sent the source for that version of the driver.  I
tried to compile it with the make file that he included, but got a
bazillion errors.  I'm sure there's some secret incantation I have to
add to the makefile to get it to compile under my specific setup, but I
have no idea what it is.  All of the errors are buried in header files
that are already on my system, not in the driver itself.  If one of you
C++ programmers can help I would be very grateful!
