module for sony network walkman

[Balram Adlakha]

Hi,
Is there any driver available for accessing the flash memory of my sony usb 
network walkman (nw-e5)? This thing was quite expensive and I really would 
like it to work.

At a guess, it might just act like a disk device.  Without a lot more
information, I can't help you any further.  What does lsusb say about
it?

however, I am not able to just load the usb-storage, scsi disk and scsi 
generic modules and mount it coz its not shown anywhere in /dev (devfs)
Will it work if I try some of the flash memory writer modules? What can I try?

This is not a usb-storage device (or it is saying it is not, it might be
lying...)  I'd suggest contacting Sony to try to get the specs for this
device.

Good luck,
