I would install the package linux-source which is the source of your 
current kernel including possible Ubuntu patches. But of course you may 
use that file as well.

Well, did you use the commands after installing the device? Otherwise  
you can't see the IDs. Anyway, from the lsusb command we know already 
that the idVendor is 0fe6 and the idProduct is 9700.
