I did try to mount the device manually but got an error, something like "bad block device". I did not check the fs type and can try that but the "bad block device" error does not leave me optimistic with that solution.
A check of the DSL version is always a good idea. I was running on 1.5 and when I loaded in 2.0 it works as designed. When I plugged in the memory stick the /mnt/sda1 pops up in the emelfm window and I can mount it.
However, here is the rub.
When I go to DSL 2.0 I lose my wireless capability. I notice that during the boot sequence the D-LINK wireless card is no looker assigned to port eth0 but is now assigned wlan0. That seems reasonable and I can even see that the card and model are recognized. However, I am not able to configure to the card. With DSL 1.5 I used Wlanconfig to configure the card to eth0 but that does not work for DSL 2.0. I was making some progress with using Prism2. In fact, ifconfig shows me the wlan0 interface with what I am assuming is a valid MAC but my attempts to get network connections fail. I have tried both DHCP and assigning a static IP. This is all done using the DSLpanel tool.
This laptop is a christmas gift for my high school son. It would be great if I could get either DSL 1.5 working with the hotplug flash or DSL 2.0 configured with wireless capability. Hopefully he can see there is more to computers than Counter Strike and UT.
Thanks.
