If the command : /sbin/lsmod | grep floppy produces no output like this : floppy 57125 1 then the driver did not load, for some reason. This stuff can be set upto work automatically, but I really don't recommend using 3.5" floppies, anyway. I have had a LOT of trouble using them ever since they came out, like having to use cleaner disks after EVERY use of a single floppy or the drive sees an absolute blank disc, etc. You really need to get networking running, it is far easier than it used to be.
