+		before running the tools. The driver on this page no longer needs to be preloaded if you only used

+		To fix this, run the tools with <KBD>linux32</KBD> or preload the newest 32-bit version of
+		<i>libusb-driver</i>. This will lead the tools to believe that they are running on a 32-bit
+		platform and allows them to connect to the cable.
