However, I am learning to use Linux 16 / Mint with the Cinnamon Desktop.<br>
I have downloaded the FTDI Linux 0.4.16 driver and some instructions I don't understand.<br>
The problem is, I have not a clue of where to go from there.<br>
Is there anyone out there that can help me get this driver installed and etc.?<br>
