Have you installed the ufiformat package? A search of the package
lists only show that (might) be helpful.
Thanks for the suggestion, Wayne, but I need to crawl before I
can walk. Right now, I can't even shove a floppy into the drive
without the kernel going bananas. From my research, this is
looking more and more like a bug. This specific model of USB
floppy drive was known to work under Etch. See
http://lists.debian.org/debian-laptop/2005/07/msg00207.html
I've never known Linux to remove support for a USB device once
it has been added. Does anyone, anywhere, have a working USB
floppy drive under Debian Squeeze? If so, I'd like to know about
it, and what you did to get it working. For the record, here
is the output of "lsusb -v" for the device:

Yes. I have a USB floppy drive that I use occasionally under Squeeze.
I didn't have to configure anything to make it work. I'm using the stock
Debian 2.6.32-5-686 kernel.
It is a Sony drive, rather than TEAC.
My lsusb seems to be the same as yours, apart from vendor/manufacturer
lines, and this line:
iInterface 4 FLOPPY
I don't know if that helps.
