Hello, unfortunately, I cannot really help you since I have a C-760. However, I used usbnet (and not usbdnet) and I had to change the driver by hand (easier then it sounds). The whole story is explained in: http://www.zaurus.com/dev/board/index.php?act=ST&f=3&t=5490&s=534fdc5b391a1d37121ccea33b6fa7f1 Before I found this solution, I also posted on the SuSE mailist with no success. I would advise you to try the Zaurus board. It is much better when it comes to Zaurus questions and your problem is a usual topic there :-) http://www.zaurus.com/dev/board regards, einar Remi Broemeling wrote:

I am endeavouring to get my Sharp Zaurus SL-5500 to work with SuSE 8.2. I've followed the instructions at http://sdb.suselinux.hu/en/sdb/html/jreuter_zaurus_usb.html, and have also read over http://www.ruault.com/Zaurus/ethernet-over-usb-howto.html, looking for something that I have missed. I've found nothing. When I seat my Zaurus in the cradle and turn it on, I don't get any of the normal 'beep' noises that are associated with a new USB device connection, and I get this output in /var/log/messages.

The interface usb0 is not shown in output from 'ifconfig -a', and the usbdnet module is not loaded. Following is the output from 'lsusb -v' when the Zaurus is seated and turned on.

While garnering this information, STDERR received the following (as output from the lspci command):

----------------------------------------------------------------------- `lsusb -v` [STDERR] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- string descriptor 1 invalid (bf bf; len=0) string descriptor 2 invalid (bf bf; len=0) string descriptor 4 invalid (bf bf; len=0) string descriptor 6 invalid (bf bf; len=0) string descriptor 7 invalid (bf bf; len=0) string descriptor 1 invalid (bf bf; len=0) string descriptor 2 invalid (bf bf; len=0) -----------------------------------------------------------------------

I've tried various things, to apparently no avail - the error message remains static, and I can't find any mention of it in the SuSE mailing list archive except for one note that is in german... so I am hoping that someone here can help me. Various other information about my system follows, I tried to guess what would be asked of me and include as much information as I could. My kernel is the stock SuSE kernel (athlon), I did not build my own. USBDNET was already installed on the system as a part of the SuSE installation, so it was unnecessary to build my own copy of it.
