When you say "appear as", what evidence should there be? All I have is a green LED on the dongle. Doing mkfs.vfat /dev/sda1 gives "No such device or address" with any CF card. Any other useful commands?
When you boot the machine do so without the usb dongle attached. When the machine has booted type "dmesg" then plug in the dongle with the compact flash card alread inserted in it, then run the command "dmesg" again and you should see extra lines appended on to the output saying which device the compact flash card has been allocated. If you get some kind of output you don't understand you could post it back here for analysis :)
