Ok this isn't exactly a solution. But rather a question. Does anything get created via the tarball in /etc/devfs/conf.d? In this directory I have a number of conf files for devices specific to my computer. /etc/devfsd.conf reads this to understand how to configure devices for your box when it starts up and this could be what is missing in order to get it to configure/recognize this device.
