Yes, same problem over here: None of my FTDI cables works. There is also a 
forum post about this. I did have one cheap adapter, that did work indeed, 
however it decided to not want to continue working for some reason. I ordered 
a few one with a CP2102, like it was suggested on the forum. Till they arrive 
(around mid of next week) there is not too much I can do, too ...

Best regards,
Kilian
