8 Hopefully! At least, I managed to make a connection to my WM5 PDA. I'm
9 not using any synchronization, however, just filesystem access.

11 A suggestion right at the start: Check out the SynCE-WindowsMobile5
12 mailing list. Dr J A Gow is currently making huge efforts regarding the
13 synchronization engine, but he maintains it currently out-of-tree.
14 Check the February Archive at sourceforge.

19 The problem, however, is that the synce development is heavily
20 fragmented, partly there are even parallel efforts. I really, really
21 recommend to resort to the svn versions of everything:

23
24 Hopefully it will stabilize and we will see regular packages.

28 Actually, Bluetooth may even be more simple -- but I can't check, I
29 don't own bluetooth adapters.

31 Remember to enable USB networking in the kernel
32 (CONFIG_USB_NET_CDCETHER), compile it as module, and then install
33 usb-rndis-lite drivers. You might even have to delete the modules that
34 the kernel generated in order to use the usb-rndis-lite ones, because
35 they will have the same name as the vanilla-kernel modules. It is
36 important to compile them in you kernel beforehand in order to have the
37 kernel include some needed symbols.

39
40 Also, remember to compile odccm with desktop integration. HAL and dbus
41 should be running when you start odccm. "dmesg" should tell that there
42 is a new rndis device when you plug in your WM5 PDA.
