Can't Get Desktop to Connect to SL-6000L

I followed the Wiki page closely, installing usbnet-standalone. Turns out I already had a usbnet.o module, and when the standalone package didn't work, I tried the originally. I always get the same results. From my kernal messages log (I'm running Fedora Core 1,current kernel is kernel-smp-2.4.22-1.2199.nptl):

And with all that, no actual connection between the two. I cannot create a usb0 interface device, and nothing new appears to kudzu (the new-hardware sniffer). I do have a module "acm.o" (under the usb hierarchy), but even with that force-loaded via modprobe, I get the above. I've had USB2.0 issues with flash drives, so I also tried plugging in the sync cable to a USB1.1 hub, to force it down to 1.1 when presented to the kernel (it's the only way I can get my Lexar to mount properly). Again, no difference.

I love this thing, but I'd like to be able to at least back it up. Actually exchanging data with my desktop would be just keen.
