Under  USB Serial Converter support I'm not seeing any
of the experimental  driver choices, so I've definately
missed the option that makes those all visible. Where
exactly do you turn it on?

I cannot find it.

cd /usr/src/linux  make menuconfig

Then, hit the / key. Type in FTDI. This should bring up the path for that
driver.

In any case, why can you not use a module?
