Thanks.
The output for those four commands is listed below.
Note a complicating factor; I got the invalid device with the flash (pen) drive that DSL had previously copied the backup.tar.gz file onto. Today, I realized that it was not mountable under DSL (haven't tried under other linux distros, Mac OS X or Win XP yet). Therefore, I switched to another one and this one was mountable, and DOESN'T give an invalid drive error. However, it still doesn't autoconfig wireless at reboot (It is plugged in before I boot and I am using "dsl nodhcp dsl restore=sda" bootcodes.).
So, perhaps the question is can I setup the backup and restore to autoconnect to my WEP secured wireless home network or even autodetect my Broadcom card (using ndiswrapper) or at this time does this require manual steps at each boot. Is it possible to use the backup/restore tool to auto configure the relevant init or config files at boot, perhaps with a "trick" to delay the timing of one or another processes or services or... (sorry, I am nontechie).
Anyway, the output you suggested I report is below (with the pen drive that DOESN't yield an invalid device error).
