^^ Thank you very much
Renaming the file to "Auto" (dough!...was in the readme) enabled the device to read as an adapter. One step closer! 2 problems remain
1) I'm not quite sure how to access the device- tried mucking around with vnc, putty and it keeps timing out (Used the instructions at
http://jyavariousideas.blogspot.com/...SB%20tethering partially)
2) The device remains in usb mode forever- regardless of whether its plugged to the computer or not (I'm assuming more readings ahead to solve this one
)
-Thank you all!
PS: Clearly out of my league here...but too damn stubborn to give up
