Hi all, apologies for the newb question, but how would I go about locating my USB stick from the command line. My wireless drivers are on it, and as such need to get access to it pretty sharpish... I'm happy with how to mount it manually once I've located it, etc..
Cheers in advance..

ls /dev/sd*, insert drive, wait a while and ls /dev/sd* again, and more than likely, that new sd* device that showed up is your flash drive.

Another way to do this is to
$ watch dmesg
then plug in the usb drive. The device name should show up soon after plugging the device in.

dmesg|tail

yet another way :
plug in the drive and then issue
fdisk -l
given without sudo, will list drives not owned by root (mostly external). Give it with sudo and it will list both(internal and external).

There's no such thing as a stupid question, but there sure are a lot of inquisitive idiots !
