Ubuntu has always worked fine on my hardware (Dell workstations and
laptops). Both in Badger and Drake. I've never had to do anything
special.

Are you using a PowerBook with Ubuntu?

If you find out something let me know and I'll add it to my Ubuntu
installation instructions.

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.
