Revision history [back]

I figured it out. Apparently Lego has a free Mindstorms client to update the Firmware. Unfortunately you need a Mac or PC to do so. I updated the firmware using my Mac (which has my Linux VM within it), and then my computer would finally recognize the device. Then I just needed to go into the virtualbox settings and tell it to allow the unknown device to connect to my linux VM. Now it works like a charm. :)
