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...
