[Ham-Mac] Help Removing Silicon Labs USB to UART Bridge Driver

[David Anderson]

I found this related info:

To un-install the Silicon Labs driver do the following:
1. Navigate to /System/Library/Extensions/
2. Find the driver itself - it'll be called something like 'SLAB_USBtoUART.kext'
3. Drag it to the trash (be careful to drag just this one file). You will need to enter an admin password here.
4. Go up a level to /System/Library and drag the file called 'Extensions.mkext' to the trash (this is a cache of all your kernel extensions).
5. Reboot immediately.
