Oh I wasn't aware that the 8 makes a difference, I have an Axiom61 which does 
not need any firmware.

I had a probably similar problem with my MidiSport 2x2, which I bought this 
summer and which had another ProductID than the one the udev rule was looking 
for. Read this bug report to see how Takashi fixed it, and what he wanted me 
to do to get the needed information:

Look at the comments #1 - #6 in the bug report. You should examine the oxygen udev rule 
and be able how to modify the call to fxload then, I guess. If it gets too complicated, 
maybe open your own bug ;) I can't really tell how much oxygen8 differs from oxygen, or 
if that is the reason at all...

Not strange at all, as Clemens said already: the Windows driver loads the firmware, 
and it stays there as long as the device is powered by USB.
