arduino-1.0-macosx.zip does not include FTDI driver #913

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

I have a Duemilanove which uses FTDI stuff. I'm not sure whether it is too old 
or something.

On Ubuntu 12.04 and with arduino package in official repository installed, 
/dev/ttyUSB0 would appear.

However, on Mac OS X 10.7 with Arduino App from arduino-1.0-macosx.zip, I can 
only unrelated Bluetooth stuff. I've checked SHA-1 of the zip archive.

After digging the documentation, I find that FTDI driver, or 
FTDIUSBSerialDriver_10_4_10_5_10_6.mpkg is needed. I got this file from 
arduino-0023.dmg.

This is definitely unfriendly. You'd include the driver or make the 
documentation more clear.

Thank you in advance.

The Mac version of the getting started guide 
(http://arduino.cc/en/Guide/MacOSX) describes the need to install the FTDI 
drivers and links to them.
