OK, I just verified that it does connect and auto-mounts on the desktop
as you'd expect on a centos5 box. But your behavior is what I used to
see when connecting to a Mac with the original firmware - and it might
have needed the drivers installed to work on windows. Bluetooth would
work even before the update but its too slow to be useful with a
several-gig micro-sd card.
