That could be a CDCE device (communication class - ethernet). See cdce(4) 
man page.
Try to load the if_cdce kernel module, then plug in your device.
If that doen'st work, I'æm out of ideas.

Thanks Torfinn but that didn't work. It stil ldid not pick the device up.
In Linux it picks it up as a modem and from what I've read up on the 
internet you connect to the virtual serial port to control the relays.
