Not only that, but instead of running the mishmash of 80+ lines of 
uncommented and possibly ambiguous script+code within Lubuntu 14.04 and 
the step previously described by Ken S (e.g., as per [2]; probably [3]), 
there are also at least the options of running 'lsusb -v | less' at the 
commandline and/or running Linux kernel developer Greg Kroah-Hartman's[4] 
'usbview' from the LXDE desktop to get a bit more detail on that MicFlex 
USB device.
Check out their manpages via 'man 8 lsusb' and 'man 8 usbview' 
respectively (can visit webpages referred to in [5] and [6], and Greg 
K-H's [7]).

Good luck!
