But you didn't post the dmesg log; you posted the system log.  And
evidently your /etc/syslog.conf was set up so that syslogd didn't put
debug-level messages in the system log; hence none of the interesting
stuff was included.

Without the debugging log information it's hard to be certain.  But
overall I'd say no.  It's a case of a device following a vendor-specific
specification instead of one of the standard class specifications.  
That's perfectly okay according to the USB spec, but it means that without
a vendor-specific driver you can't use the device.

If the debugging log shows the device isn't usable, perhaps you can
exchange it for a different brand.
