For anyone who was curious about this, it seems that there is no way to use this particular Buslink USB drive with the 2.6.x kernel. Apparently in the line

I:  If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 3 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=ff Prot=ff Driver=(none)

from my /proc/bus/usb/devices, the "Cls=ff(vend.)" means the drive is using a vendor specific protocol for which there is no built-in driver, hence the "Driver=(none)". Some guy apparently wrote his own driver for it, but won't be updating it for 2.6.x kernels. So, it looks like I'm SOL, unless I want to take up kernel hacking...
