Re: [gentoo-dev] New PDA Guide

I made this script some while ago so I could ssh to my Ipaq which has 
linux installed on it.

if you have a zaurus connect your usb cable to your machine and:

[- Issue this in your zaurus:

# modprobe usb-eth
# ifconfig usbf up 1.1.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0
# route add default gw 1.1.1.1

[- Issue this in your machine:

# ./ipaq_nat start

you can now connect to the zaurus and through the zaurus connect to the 
internet.

for more info check handhelds.org and specifically:
