Probably because no one here has any information or experience with
this gadget :)

It's in the 2.4.x series, but you need to compile it, either as a
module, or directly into the kernel. You'll need to know some amount
of detail about your USB hardware (both the peripheral and the controller).
I recommend you check the Linux USB site at:
http://www.linux-usb.org
Also check sourceforge for driver support for this device.

No idea, I know nothing about anything you've mentioned in this
e-mail :)
