Hi everyone,
Thanks for all of the replies.
I should point out that I'm using the kernel, rootfs and pbl mentioned in the wiki... http://the.earth.li/pub/e3/2.6.15/rootfs.arm_nofpu.ext2.gz http://the.earth.li/pub/e3/2.6.15/u-boot.bin http://the.earth.li/pub/e3/2.6.16/uImage-2.6.16-omap2-e3 http://the.earth.li/pub/e3/2.6.16/linux.pbl
ifconfig -a just shows the loopback device so it seems that something funny is going on. When I did a search for ADM8515 linux I found a link to the file pegasus.h which suggests that the pegasus driver can cut-it with this chip-set. Do you think I'm reading this correctly?
My assumption was that if the kernel had the modules loaded and I plugged the drive in, it should show up somewhere but ipconfig doesn't spot it. Do I need to do something else?
Thanks for the input, it's nice to be welcomed :-)
All the best.
Andy.

So that's as far as I've got. I can't see /dev/eth0, which I would expect. ifconfig just shows my loopback device (should it show more?)
On Linux ethernet devices don't get device nodes, so you won't see any network devices in /dev. Also, ifconfig will only show you configured ethernet devices (unless you ask it to show you them all); since your new USB device isn't configured, it's not showing up on the list.
What you need to do is:
ifconfig -a
...which will tell you the name of the network device, and then:
ifconfig [name] up [ipaddress] netmask [netmask] gw [gateway]
...to configure it. From there it ought to work, though you may need to tweak the routing table (use the 'route' command) and the DNS setup (/etc/resolv.conf) first.
