For best results, make sure you plug in any USB devices before starting the chroot. Networking changes may also need a sync.
You might need to "sudo closechroot," then plug in the device, preferably, get the device working as eth0 in maemo, "touch /home/user/.synchroot", then start up the chroot ("sudo debian").
So, I assume that my problem might be just related to specific devices I am trying to use....have tried the following:
A) Belkin F5D5050 (USB 1.0)
B) CablesUnlimited USB-2810 (USB2.0)
C) Linksys USB200M ver.2.1 (USB2.0)
So, perhaps, I need to try a fourth device.....

yeah, you need the right kernel module in maemo before you can start using the device.

Did localepurge and freed up some space...
However, now when I tried to do 'apt-get upgrade, I ended with message that upgrade needed 230MB of space and that I didn't have enough room.
Anyone else run into this problem?
Thanks!

Then, from inside the Debian chroot, you can issue an "apt-get upgrade"
qole,
Followed your instructions, but now when I do 'apt-get upgrade from Debian chroot terminal window, I get the following:
Code:
#apt-get upgrade E: Unable to write to /var/cache/apt E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
Code:
#apt-get update E: Archive directory /var/cache/apt/archives/partial is missing.
Thanks!
