module for sony network walkman

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,
