Well, I bought a 32 GB SDHC card, thinking it would fit the phone:

Silly me, of course it does not. 

However, before returning it I decided it might be cool to use it in my
T61. It appears to fit the slot in front, and when I push it in a green
light next to the slot comes on and blinks a couple of times. However,
Fedora 14 x86_64 (Gnome) does not see it.

Any suggestions?
