driver was downloaded from internet - this device was bought from previous 
user and i don't have its oryginal CD, nor pilot.
i'll ask him if he could search for this CD a bit...
tomorow i'll try to edit the driver (i've already tried 
editing /lib/modules/2.6.18/modules.usbmap adding a liner for my device - the 
effect was the same as i would plug device in and modprobe driver manualy.
