Try to plug a mouse into the USB port and see if it works. If not, this will definitely determine that you have the update USB extensions issue; a known issue from way back. There is a set of replacement USB extensions that you can download that will allow the USB card (a Macally, in my case) to work on a Wally. The only caveat is that you'll get an error about the Apple Audio Extension not loading when you boot up, but as far as I know, this has no effect on anything. The link to the extensions is at http://eshop.macsales.com/tech/ftp/usb/usbextensions.sit Just replace the extensions in your Extensions folder with the ones in this archive.
