That will only turn up the FTDI chip, used by many products.

I've not used it, but the "insert installation media in your CD/DVD drive or USB port" menu item just shows directories on the media, you say? Is that because the it's being auto-mounted on insertion and you're selecting the mount point where the directories are visible? Can you `sudo umount ...mount-point...' where that's deduced using `df' and then give the wizard the device name that df showed instead?
