[Elecraft] Need help with FTDI USB connection for W2 interface program in Linux

[NZ0T]

I am part of the team that will be displaying Elecraft products at the
Joplin, MO hamfest this coming weekend.   Taking my K3 and W2 to show and I
would like to be able to show the W2 interface program on my Acer netbook as
that program really enhances the W2.  The problem is that I recently changed
from Win7 to the Linux distro Zorin OS9 (based on Ubuntu) on the  netbook
and the interface software is only available for Windows and Mac.  I have
been able to get the Windows version of the program running using Wine but
have had no luck getting the FTDI USB cable to connect.  I am new to Linux
and really struggling with this.  Can anyone please give me a simple
(hopefully) step by step procedure on how to get the cable recognized and
working under Wine?

Thanks in advance!
