Although this compiled and installed, it didn't fix my problem. I contacted FTDI directly, and the engineer there said that the latest driver (v 1.5.0) should work fine with 64-bit Karmic. He sent me a link to the driver source - http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP/Linux/ftdi_sio.tar.gz which I downloaded.

Although the driver that you kindly provided shows to be version 1.5.0 as well, there are major differences between it and the one I got from FTDI. Do you know why? It seems that if changes were made, then the version would be different. I tried to compile the "official" FTDI version, but got a bazillion errors. I even tried replacing the source in your fix with the "official" source and it still wouldn't compile.

I'm getting desperate to get this working.
