It gives this:

Garbage? This looks not promising.

??? Looks like the kernel can't cope? (but I'm not a USB-guy). Did the usb-device come with a CD with kernel modules/drivers? [8<]
Could it be the hardware that's at fault?
That is a possibility. Does it work in another OS? Another PC? It's small, so you could easily take it to a friend to try. Maybe there are more knowledgeable people around here with better advice.
