See those "Vendor Specific" thingies? They indicate that the e250 doesn't
use a standard USB mass-storage protocol. Consequently the usb-storage
driver won't talk to it.

Same here.
Now it's possible that the device really does use a standard protocol
instead of a vendor-specific protocol, in spite of what the descriptors
say. If it does, there's a good chance the patch below will make it work.
Try it and see.
