I have the Internet Navigator keyboard which is, I think, the non-wireless
version of the keyboard that you have.  If yours works the same as mine it is
because by default the scroll wheel sends the same scan codes as the up and
down arrow keys.  The Logitech software in windows somehow reprograms the
keyboard (suggested by how the lights all blink, as if the keyboard is being
reset or just being plugged in) when you change the action for the scroll
wheel.  So unfortunately in Linux, I think all the scroll wheel is good for
is another set of up and down arrow keys.
