You need to go to the FTDI website and see if they have a Unix driver that will work for you. The problem with USB drivers is that they get into things that are down in the hardware muck, and very much dependent on the OS's particular handling of the hardware layer. Without a Unix driver, you're hosed, even running Wine.
