  1. Don't know if this helps or not, but my system crashed when I closed the laptop lid. I rebooted the system with the flash drive plugged in, but not the ZTE modem, and there on the desktop was the flash drive icon. I was also able to install the ndiswrapper driver for my wireless card, but now the ZTE won't connect at all, just hangs on "please wait". Also the "start" menu has changed - its more "vista" than it was before the crash. I don't know what's going on here... Maybe another problem. Anyway, the flash drive seems to be working now, I'll play around and try to fix the modem. Thanks for the help Regards Tim
  2. Hi Ian, Thanks for the help. Unfortunately I do not have any other USB sticks to test, but I will try and borrow one to test. Below are the results for lsmod | grep -i usb when the stick is connected.

How do I direct output to a text file? Thanks again, Tim
  3. How do I get the flash drive recognised? It shows up in KInfoCenter If I unplug the stick this element disappears, when I plug it back in it reappears - deffinatly the correct entry. Just need the dev name or something. Thanks
  4. Thanks Ian I have just got my ZTE modem working so I am online, just can't download much at the moment (1GB/month and I already downloaded Mandriva!) I also managed to download, extract and install Firefox 3 which I'm quite chuffed about! Here are the results from fdisk Disk /dev/sda: 250.0 GB, 250059350016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x0334f5f5 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 10198 81915403+ 5 Extended /dev/sda2 10199 30402 162275328 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda5 1 1019 8185054+ 83 Linux /dev/sda6 1020 1528 4088511 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda7 1529 10198 69641743+ 83 Linux I tried mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb and get mount: special device /dev/sdb1 does not exist.and I tried all letters upto sdg1 all with the same. ls /dev/s shows sda sda7 shm/ snapshot st1 sda1 sequencer slamr0 snd/ stderr sda2 sequencer2 slamr1 sr0 stdin sda5 sg0 slusb0 sr1 stdout sda6 sg1 slusb1 st0 systty Thanks again Tim
  5. Hi, I'm a new user to linux, just installed it yesterday and I'm trying to get online. Apparently my broadcom 4328 wireless card isn't supported nativly so I have to use the ndiswrapper. I downloaded the driver and put on a usb stick (from Windows) but I cannot access the drive. I have tried a number of searches and tried the suggestions, but I just cannot get this to work. I found one thread about changing the icons (Configure Desktop, Behaviour, Icons) but nothing. I also tried manually mounting the drive - I have created /mnt/usb and tried to mount it using su mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb But it tells me that an ntfs is not correct file system. I reformatted under windows as fat32 and tried with -t vfat but it still tells me about wrong filesystem type. The device is shown under USB devices in KInfoCenter, however if I run dmsg |tail -n 15 after inserting the stick I get this message: usb 1-8.1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice Initializing USB Mass Storage driver... scsi9 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices usbcore: registered new interface driver usb-storage USB Mass Storage support registered. usb-storage: device found at 18 usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning usbcore: deregistering interface driver usb-storage Does this mean its unsupperted or something is not loaded? The device is a Corsair Flash Voyager 4GB and I am using Mandriva 2008 Spring. I am a long time windows user looking to make the switch. I am trying to setup my HP TX1250 laptop and I have already wiped Vista - no turning back or taking the easy way out! I think I may have many questions coming up soon... Thanks for any tips you can give me on this matter. Kind Regards Tim
