hmm, the README (which is rather ancient, the website
http://at76c503a,berlios.de is more uptodate) says:
+ modprobe -v at76c503-rfmd
+ or
+ insmod usbdfu.o; insmod at76c503.o; insmod at76c503-rfmd.o

Usually inserting the module after the device is plugged-in is handled by
the hotplug package (or similar packages).

Please set debugging to 0x184003 in at76c503:
	modprobe -v at76c503 debug=0x184003
	modprobe -v at76c505-rfmd2958
plug the device in and post the syslog (with debug msgs included).
