10 Are you using the standard sharp roms or OZ?

12 Check your light and power settings and make sure that the zaurus does
13 NOT go into suspend mode when connected to a powersource. Going into
14 sleep mode _will_ break a network connection. Also, make sure that when
15 cradled, your zaurus is connected to a powersource, because the
16 aforementioned option should be set correctly by default.
17
18 Also, I had a lot of problems with the 2.4.19 kernel, but the 2.4.20
19 gentoo-sources worked perfectly for the zaurus right out of the box (no
20 patch needed).

22 Let me know if you have any more info, and I'll see what I can do for
23 you.
