Public bug reported:
The firmware of the usbduxsigma (alongside with the usbduxsigma.c) was
updated in 2015 during a major rewrite but its binary was still the old
one which causes the kernel driver to fail.
I've submitted a patch to the kernel people (see below).
However, as a quick fix could you also apply the patch to the package
directly to have this fixed now and then we can wait until it trickles
down from the kernel.
I'm the maintainer of both the firmware and the drivers.
This affects both 32 and 64 bit distros.
Best,
