I use mkfs.vfat and partition type "b". If you're still stuck, I suggest joining our IRC channel (irc.freenode.net/#olpc) so that we can help you debug this in real-time. > Are wired Ethernet USB gadgets expected to work?

This should work, as we just use the standard Linux asix driver. I suggest upgrading to build303 and trying again, since a problem with some asix devices (since fixed) was introduced into the mainline Linux kernel a month or two ago. > Is there a wiki section that covers getting started and low level > hints? If so, how should I have found it? The front page of the wiki links to: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/BTest-2_Release_Notes .. which in turn links to: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_Software_Release_Notes http://wiki.laptop.org/go/B1-demo-notes Hope that helps, - Chris. -- Chris Ball <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@laptop.org http://mailman.laptop.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
