After plugging in a Tmote/TelosB, run "lsmod" to see if the ftdi_sio driver is being loaded. If it is, and you're just not getting the device nodes created automatically, Shawn Schaffert has some suggestions from a while back that have been incorporated into the Tmote Sky Linux Manual Installation page. See the section "Device Nodes"
When I insert the node, the kernel doesn't automatically install the ftdi_sio module; I therefore installed in manually with insmod. I don't even get an entry in /dev/usb. I had one fun experience of thinking the hiddev entry might be the mote, messing with it, then watching by USB keyboard and mouse freak out. Oh well.
It basically looks like the kernel is not recognizing the Telos as an FTDI device. I've tried Berkeley, Crossbow, and Moteiv motes. It's always worked fine with every other Linux distro I've used, so I think it's something up with Ubuntu and its configuration. If I get time I'll dig deeper.
