I have had a terrible time trynig to set up usb networking on SuSE 9. I have followed all the instructions on the Sharp developers site and on the SuSE help database, and it won't work. When I plug the Zaurus into the cradle I get the beeps from the hotplug system and an ifconfig -a reveals two new interfaces - usb0 and usb1 both with different mac addresses and neither with any ip address assigned despite setting up the instructed network scripts. I have an inkling that the problem may be that both usbnet and usbdnet kernel drivers are activated as seen in lsmod. Does anyone have any idea what is going on? regards garry

Well, have you tried assigning the IPs manually... ifconfig usb0 IP netmask IP broadcast IP up

Not without more information, no.

yes, and all I get when I try to ping the Zaurus is 'network unreachable' thanks for trying garry

I have sorted this one. I had to follow the instructions in the SuSE database. Then I deleted the usbnet module from /lib/modules to stop it from being loaded. Make sure the netmask is 255.255.255.0(not.255) and then set the firewall to allow connections on ports 4242 and 4243. Thanks for input from the list. regards garry
