This looks like the device described at
http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdev.php?id=1303
, but I can't be sure without checking the device ID.  Use lsusb from a
sommand line, or the usbview tool to get the ID for your drive and
compare.  If not, searching the working devices list for that ID should
hopefully dig up what you're looking for.

If that is it, then according to that page the device works well after
editing a source file and compiling a new kernel.

The device it is allocated appears in the log messages when the drive
is recognised.  Libranet is Debian-based, from memory, so plug the
drive in and look in /var/log/syslog to see what your kernel thinks of
it.

The working devices list at http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/index.php is
invaluable.  So is the Linux USB Guide at
http://www.linux-usb.org/USB-guide/book1.html , and the rest of
www.linux-usb.org in general.

Good luck,
