22 It's cradled with the power source connected. It sits turned on quite
23 happily all day long while I'm at work.

30 I'm running 2.4.20-gentoo-r2.

36 Let's see... My Zaurus is set up with 10.0.0.2 in the USB Sync IP field...
37
38 Here's my script to configure the network for it:
39
40 ifconfig usb0 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0 up
41 route add -host 10.0.0.2 usb0
42
43 I've tried adding devfs lines to get it to autorun that script, but I've
44 failed. I always have to run them by hand.
45
46 *thinks* I set the correct values for the configuration of usbdnet in the
47 kernel...
48
49 Not sure what other information you would need to help with this.
