How about when you load the module? As someone else indicated, it does not sound like this model is supported by this module. Another check, it you know how to read it, is to look in /proc/bus/usb/devices for your device. If you get Driver=none then the device is not supported by any loaded module. This is usually a good indication that the device is not supported. There are exceptions to this - devices supported by user space programs. (REB-1100 supported by rebcom for example.) Here is an example of an unsupported device.
