Leapster Connect (for Explorer)

What works

The install itself

What does not

Connect does not see my Leapster Explorer via USB.   Dmesg shows

[562910.260063] usb 1-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 13
[562910.419560] usb 1-4: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
[562912.521465] eth1: register 'cdc_ether' at usb-0000:00:1d.7-4, CDC Ethernet Device, 80:38:fd:8d:2d:46
[562912.521503] usbcore: registered new interface driver cdc_ether
[562913.354841] udev: renamed network interface eth1 to eth3
[562924.660036] eth3: no IPv6 routers present
[563007.668886] usb 1-4: USB disconnect, address 13
[563007.669151] eth3: unregister 'cdc_ether' usb-0000:00:1d.7-4, CDC Ethernet Device

So I think it configures it as a network device BUT does not assign it an IP address???

Additional Comments

The CD that was included with the Leapster Explorer launched a browser. It downloads http://download.leapfrog.com/leapfrogconnect/PC/leapsterexplorer/LeapFrogConnectSetup_LeapsterExplorer.exe It rans then download a second program did the install. Flash was required which downloaded and installed that fine. In the end connect runs BUT does not see my Leapster Explorer when connecting it via USB.
