Did you symlink them as per my previous instructions?

You need a new kernel. You should be able to apt-get install a newer
kernel-image or, if you're a wild kinda guy, build a custom one from
source. The reason is: you need better usb support (as well as a kernel
without known exploits.) 

Important modules that should be shown in lsmod:

usb-uhci
usbcore
visor
usbserial

And install hotplug. 
None of which I mentioned in my previous email. Sorry :)

You can use modprobe for any of the aforementioned modules. i.e.
modprobe usb-uhci

Follow the rest of the directions in my first email and let me know how
it goes.
