I have spent hours on the internet trying to find a working driver. The broken links to ST's site don't help either (the site was redesigned recently according to a ST local field engineer I phoned). I eventually found the solution to be quite simple (as these usually are once you know the solution ;-).
Simply install the simplemac software from ST. It installs the required device driver without you even knowing it. What a relief!
If companies where a bit brighter, then they would keep old links working, with old read-only data and a popup saying: Our forum have moved. Press button for redirect.
But then all web pages, search engines etc all over the world would still be able to find the old problem solutions. And the company's own FAQ would point to the correct solutions.
It is quite embarrassing with all companies having FAQ pages that contains links to the solutions - and the link is to their own web server and to a now killed, older version, forum. All because it is so _cool_ to update the company profile and throw in a new forum solution developed by new consultants that wants $$$. Best is when they manage a solution with 500 character long links, that might even change depending on the phase of the moon.
