No problem, 'lsusb' gives the device as having a 'Zydas' chipset. On the dongle itself: It's manufactured by 'LM Technologies' and is model no. 'LM001'. A quick Google of either details gives results. When I bought it on eBay there was no details, so it was a £10 (inc. postage) gamble, but it paid off in the end. I'm using Ubuntu 7.10 by the way. Hope this helps other users to select what proved to be a simple to set up device.
