google was not useful, so I thought I'd ask here. I need some USB to serial interfaces.

I have a Keyspan, but I can get the FTDIs for $4 each if I buy them before the special ends.

I have a rfxcom USB device to collect temperature data from several
sensors. It advertises an FTDI FT230XQ interface and appears as
usb403,6015.

When I associate it with the driver usbftdi, I get an error
(roughly "driver successfully added, but failed to attach").
I do not see any /dev/cua interface created.

The device runs properly on Windows and Linux, so I have to
suppose usbftdi is not fit for purpose (its standard association
is for usb403,6001 which must be an older interface).

Beware of this one if you're using FTDI connectors:

I know it's old. But still..
