PDA USB installation

[anarcholinuxism]

According to my howto http://www.ruault.com/Zaurus/ethernet-over-usb-howto.html when I plug the pda into the cradle I should get

hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/1, assigned device number 38
usb.c: USB device 38 (vend/prod 0x4dd/0x8004) is not claimed by any active driver.
v0.4b sl@lineo.com, tbr@lineo.com
usbdnet.c: v0.4b sl@lineo.com, tbr@lineo.com
usbdnet.c: USB Host to Device Network - for Linux USB Devices using MDLM/CDC
usb.c: registered new driver usbdnet


however what I actually get is

Sep 3 14:40:53 bitcoop kernel: hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/1, assigned device number 10
Sep 3 14:40:56 bitcoop kernel: usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout
Sep 3 14:40:56 bitcoop kernel: hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/1, assigned device number 11
Sep 3 14:40:59 bitcoop kernel: usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout

anyone have any idea where I'm going wrong?

Do you have the correct modules installed for your Zaurus? (What's the output of lsmod)

[anarcholinuxism]

The relevant ones I think are

acm 5056 0 (unused)

pci_hotplug 13048 0 (unused)


usb-uhci 21028 0 (unused)

usbcore 48192 1 [acm usbkbd hid usb-uhci printer]

I can't find any refrence to any others

Check out http://docs.zaurus.com/ - it seems fairly complete, and has HOW-TOs for most distros.

That's grand, I've been looking for those docs (or something like them for a few days).

http://docs.zaurus.com/index.php?id=lc_debian

in step 7 it says

make menuconfig, disable CDCEther, enable USBDnet

I assume the enable/disable instructions are done after make menuconfig and are not part of it, and if so how are they done?

They would be done during 'make menuconfig' (the kernel configuration step).
