[Networking] alpha_geek:
Hi All,

Firstly thanks to all the people here and at handhelds.org for Linux on my devices. Thanks for WM2005 on my Himalaya. Thanks for WM2005 for my Blue Angel. Thanks for custom ROMS. And thanks for all your hard work, time, dedication and skill. Long may you all excel.

So anyway, I have just managed to get GPE running on both my Himalaya and my Blue Angel after many startup.txt files, soldering up my own serial cable, and compiling the kernels many times over. At last! It works!

However, now I have another problem. I can't get the usbnet module to detect either of my PDAs when I cradle them to my Open SuSE 10 desktop.

Am I right in believing that all I should have to do is drop the device in the cradle, then "#modprobe usbnet" ?

Now you will have to bare with me as I have only been using Linux for 4-5 months, so I am still learning. If I run lsmod I can see a reference to an ipaq module under usbcore, but under usbnet there is nothing.

I also know the device is there because if i run lsusb I get this

# lsusb

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

I don't really understand what I need to do, and I am having a hard time googling up any info, everyone else for the most part seems to load it without any problems.

Any help would be more than welcome. Thanks again everyone
