This may or maynot work.

Install ivman and then plug in the usb cable. My video camera's HDD
is auto discovered this way, and then I just copy over the files,
from /media/<whatever> to where I want them.

I have fat, vfat and ntfs supported by compiling into the kernel.
It helps and most things I plug into a usb port that are intended
for doz, just pop up, via ivman...

If that does not work, there is a book out about 'Hacking the Cable
Modem'. It may give you some ideas.... The author is DerEngel. Never
looked at the book, so I cannot tell you if it will be useful.

good hunting...
