They're just saying it must be a USB host port not a USB client port. If you had an android phone you could be stuck with a client port.
Your tablet obviously detects it, so must be acting as a host port. It doesn't have the right driver unfortunately.
The manufacturer is unlikely to have a linux driver, particularly one for Android. Many of these generic USB things work with common drivers though -- with a twiddled USB serial number so the linux driver no longer detects it.
