Sparkfun Pro Micro 5v not detected

Hi all,

I have recently purchased this product as part of my computerized sprinkler system:

https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11098?

But my FreeBSD server recognizes the device only as a mouse
Code:
/dev/usm0

Is there anything I can do for my server to recognize the device as a umodem (/dev/ttycuaU*).

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks.
 
Last night I did a bit of experiment on the board.

1. I uploaded the bootloader to Pro Micro, and FreeBSD recognised the board without any issues - i.e. no issues with FreeBSD kernel.
2. Uploaded the sketch from Arduino IDE (selecting the correct board and COM port).
3. This change the board to not recognised as a ttycuaU* anymore. It just recognised the board as a mouse.

I believe this is to do something with the bootloader for Sparkfun. I am chasing them to find a solution for this and I will keep this thred updated on the progress.
 
It would be helpful if you posted the relevant info here (ie. usbconfig output, and relevant lines from /var/log/messages.
 
This is the information I send to Sparkfun:
I did the procedure just now again on Linux and these are the output:
