How about usbserial_generic, is it loading that one? I see that in my log I posted as well. Paul maybe right, but OTOH, I just tried setting the minicom serial line to /dev/ttyUSB0 and when I plug my h2200 into the usb cradle, then start minicom with that configuration, I get the "clientclientclientclient" message on the minicom screen and also see a little window popup on the ipaq screen saying "connecting", so there is definitely communication there. Also, when I unplug the ipaq, and do modprobe -r ipaq, my log shows this:

Maybe it would be simpler to do as Paul suggests, and get or make a serial cable. I got one on ebay for around $15 with shipping, although you have to make sure it will fit the h2200 -- the h36* or h38* won't fit, although I see some vendors advertising their cable as fitting all of them.
