You do realise, of course that a device file (with whatever major/minor numbers) is just an userland entry point to the kernel driver handling the nice things behind the curtain?
Hence, if your kernel does not support the connected device the /dev/whatever is just a file with nothing behind it...
What does your dmesg show when you plug in the device?
