  just been handed what is allegedly a stock ts7260 (2.4.26-ts9) and i
want to refresh my memory from quite some time back when i played with
a 7250.  first question (as i spin through the user manual), should i
be able to simply insert a VFAT-formatted USB drive, then mount it?

  i verified i have a valid VFAT USB drive, i insert it in one of the
USB slots, and i would have thought that i'd see a new sdXX device,
whereupon i'd do a manual mount.  but "dmesg" doesn't appear to show
anything after i insert the USB drive.

  do i need to modprobe a module or two for this?  i'm guessing a
generic SCSI module, then usb-storage, something like that.  it's been
a while since i've worked with a 2.4 kernel so i suspect i'm going to
need to seriously refresh my knowledge.
