Networking :: Newbie with network woes

Hi to all and thanks for taking time to help me...

I have two issues, the first being not-so network related: DSL won't recognize my USB??

Using Emelfm I can see in /mnt/ sda1, sda2, sda3, and sda4, but all are empty. How do I access a USB Drive?!

I ask because the drivers for my network card are on that stick, and I have no other way of getting the drivers on the laptop I'm using, which brings me to the second issue...

I have a Linksys WPC54G ver. 4 card, and I don't see it on the wiki list-- will it work? anyone have success?

Please let me know how you did it!

Thanks again,

h0nus

h0nus, Have you mounted the drives? If I understand you correctly you can see sda1, sda2, etc. Use Emelfm to navigate to the /mnt directory. Right-click on the sda1 entry and select MOUNT. Do the same for the other sdaX entries and see if that makes a difference. Use Emelfm and right-click to UnMount the drive before you remove it. Going through the EXIT...POWER OFF procedure should unmount them automatically.
