These things might or might not work properly, depending on the exact device revision and whether firmware is available. What's the exact line that lsusb reports for this thing when it's plugged in? This will look something like "Bus 002 Device 003: ID 046d:c00e Logitech, Inc. M-BJ58/M-BJ69 Optical Wheel Mouse" except with different IDs and a string that doesn't describe a mouse. The ID string may be blank if you're unlucky.
