Did you check if module are loaded by lsmod?

Next thing to check is that since this dev node should be created by
udev and I remember there is a udev rule in the package, which has to
be in place too.

btw, what version of Ubuntu are you running? armel or armhf? I am
going to try out precise armhf soon, let's see if it works for me ...
