are you using bluetooth stack in linux? in other words is you usb device 
recognized as usb serial port or as bluetooth dongle?

ugen(4) is a *generic* usb device. ugen(4) driver is attached to the 
device when no other driver claims it. usb serial ports, modems etc. are 
implemeted with ucom(4), uftdi(4), umct(4) and umodem(4) drivers.

if your device present itself as usb serial port then try to load 
appropriate drivers (see above). if device presents itself as bluetooth 
dongle then you need to run bluetooth stack and rfcomm_sppd(1).

thanks,
