Don't believe what Karl says - his advice is often wrong.

From your initial mail I saw that the ti_usb_3410_5052 module was 
loaded. Did you load it manually? And there is a difference in the 
module size between Ubuntu and Puppy, the Puppy module is nearly twice 
as big as the Ubuntu module. Do you have the same Kernel version for 
Puppy and Ubuntu?

There may be a problem with a missing udev rules file which prevents the 
proper operation. You could compare the /etc/udev directories of Ubuntu 
and Puppy.

Finally, I had a look at the driver from the multitech site. In the 
readme file they write that they need a usb-serial.h file which they 
claim is contained in the kernel source. However for the current Jaunty 
kernel (and some older ones) that file doesn't exist. Maybe you should 
contact their tech support like they suggest in the readme file.
