Where to find linux driver for Lexar Firefly?
I have a Lexar Firefly Jumpdrive, and the manufacturers site dos not include a driver for Linux (I would have fallen out of my chair if it had), and I need to use it on my computer. So my choices are
1. Find a driver. 2. Remove Linux and go back to windows (Which I really don't want to do, but I need the jumpdrive to work on the computer, for school and things.) So can someone tell me how to do one of the above? |
You shouldn't need any drivers other than the standard kernel USB mass storage ones. Just try mounting the partition(s) on the device.

Ok. Thanks, I'll try it.

I've never seen a jumpdrive that needed a driver for Linux. On a modern distro, It should automatically mount when you insert it. Worst case, you might have to mount it manually.
Have you tried it? What Linux distro (version)? |
I got Red Hat (7 I believe) in a book, and since I had dial-up internet then, I never really was able to get a better distro, although sometime now that I have faster internet I'll get something better. I don't know if it did mount when I inserted it, I have no idea how to access it if it did, or how to mount it.

just post here the output of:
$fdisk & $mount |
First, get one of the modern distros. You will find that your jumpdrive mounts automatically. You will also discover about 986 other things that are hugely better than RedHat 7something.
