These phones don't have drivers of their own, they usually work with generic
drivers. So it's most likely not a kernel level issue. (Did it work with
Ubuntu 7.x ??)

Can you do the following...

cat  /proc/bus/usb/devices  > /tmp/usb-before
<plug in the device>
cat  /proc/bus/usb/devices  > /tmp/usb-after

And mail the output of the following command 

diff /tmp/usb-before  /tmp/usb-after

and also paste the output from dmesg about the device being plugged in.
