I still have a problem that the icon does not appear on the desktop.  I 
see the LED blink on the memory stick but it will not mount unless I 
have an entry in fstab.  Then I can access it from the command line. I 
tried commenting out the /mnt/flash line in fstab but it did not help.

It did show up on the desktop automatically until the last three kernel 
updates but I'm not sure that something else was not updated also that 
causes the "problem?"
