        If you don't want to reboot, you can load the driver using the following
        command:
          sudo /sbin/kextload -b com.FTDI.driver.FTDIUSBSerialDriver

        Once you've rebooted or loaded the driver, you can (re)connect your FTDI
        device and it will show up in /dev, usually like this:

          /dev/tty.usbserial-XXXXXXXX

        where XXXXXXXX is a random ID, based on the serial number.

        To uninstall the driver, you must use the GUI to move the
        application from /Applications/FTDIUSBSerialDextInstaller.app to Trash,
        otherwise the system extension will not be removed.
