Those instructions are pretty confusing. They tell you to connect the pda to the host using a serial cable (this is the "Testing" section), not a USB cable.

Maybe activating usbnet module in pda? No. Remember, it is not possible to connect two USB devices with both of them acting as host. You need to rmmod ohci-hcd on the pda and instead modprobe g_ether. Alan Stern ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: NEC IT Guy Games.
