I had a similar problem with a HP laptop I had. I knew the USB worked as 
the Laptop had Winblows on it when I got it, but I couldn't for the life 
of me get it to work in linux. Know what I did? Upgraded to kernel 2.6. 
Now I can't guarantee that it'll fix your problem, but in my mind it's 
better to have the latest kernel, as it's more likely to have the 
support in it.

Hope thats of some help

Cheers
