That's unfortunate.  I haven't dealt with Ubuntu.

That's no joke. The only places I've found an FTDI based adapter is
BGMicro (I just checked them and they appear to be gone) and directly
from FTDI.  If you need components to make your own, you can get a
module from SparkFun, or get one in a molded cable with bare wires on
the other end from FTDI directly or from various hobby electronics
type places.
