I've used usbdnet for the Zaurus in RedHat 7.3 and 8 (kernel 2.4.x). There also seems to be something going on with safe-serial.usbdnet has always lived outside the main kernel tree, as no one has ever submitted it to me for inclusion in the tree.I would be glad to have it (for both 2.4 and 2.5) as there seems to be a number of users. Anyone care to send me a patch?
There are several sources for the patch, and you can get a 'standalone' source which just builds the module (I think).
Here are the notes about the 'standalone' version:
http://humphrey.applitec.com/zaurus/
Here is a load of binary rpms and finally the source:
http://people.redhat.com/tcallawa/zaurus/
The patch I used is from here:
http://www.ruault.com/Zaurus/patches/
(http://www.ruault.com/Zaurus/ethernet-over-usb-howto.html)
- it didn't apply cleanly but was trivial to fix (two chunks rejected in a makefile and a config.in or something like that).
I think one reason for rebuilding the kernel is to remove CDCEther which does not work for the Zaurus, a better approach is probably to blacklist it, as the standalone instructions describe.
I hope the info is useful, if you want more detail, ask and I'll find some Zaurus people who know the answers. As you can see there is some confusion about the topic and the sooner the sources find their ways into the kernel, the better IMHO.
