Can't install driver on Mac OS 10.4.5

I have discovered that the FTDI-drivers will be incorrectly installed if you have a case-sensitive file system (like HFS+ with case-sensitive turned on). This applies to at least 2.2.6 and 2.2.7.

Note: This fix ONLY for systems with a case-sensitive filesystem (if you don't know wheter this fix applies to your system, it most likely doesn't).

  1. The fix is to move the entire kext folder "FTDIUSBSerialDriver.kext/" from "/system/library/extensions" to "/System/Library/Extension" (note the difference in case).
  2. Reboot
  3. Things just workTM

Cheers!
