Thanks - so this is different from the Tusa cable... that one had

Vendor ID: 0403
Vendor Name: FTDI
Product ID:  f460
Product Name (reported):  TTL232R-3V3

yours shows

Vendor ID: 0403
Vendor Name: Smartinterface
Product ID:  6001
Product Name (reported):  USB <-> Serial Cable

It's interesting that they report the official FTDI Vendor ID, but a
different Vendor Name :-)
Which means that I need to make sure that I pick the Vendor ID, not just
the Vendor Name when setting FTDI as connection.
