[chirp_users] Chirp under Linux

[Jim Allyn]

Cables using the Prolific chipset have always been a problem.  I always 
buy a cable with the FTDI chipset.  I did recently program a radio with 
a Prolific chipset cable, so maybe those drivers have been added to the 
kernel now, too.  There have been fake Prolific chipsets out in the wild 
that are unreliable, so there's that problem, too.  As far as I know 
FTDI always works.
