Re: Zaurus and hot-plug

To the best of my knowledge, all network interfaces are identified as eth<n> where <n> is the order in which the kernel finds the device.
So, you probably don't need the usb0 entry in interfaces. I'm completely guessing here, but eth1 is apparently either a virtual interface created to set up a point to point network with the Zaurus on one end and your laptop on the other or the Zaurus itself is acting as a usb network adapter. If you can 'ifup eth1' on your laptop only after connecting the Zaurus, I would start working from there. I don't know anything about the Zaurus, so I would look on it for network settings somewhere. If you can give the Zaurus a static IP and the other important network information, you might be able to just put it on the same subnet as your laptop's eth1 interface. In that case, give eth1 and the Zaurus different IP's and try 'ping'ing between them. If that works, you will also need to enable ip forwarding in /etc/network/options by setting 'ip_forward=yes' and restart networking with '/etc/init.d/networking restart'. I think.
I'm not too familiar with usb network adapters, especially devices pretending to be one, so I can't suggest much there. 

Hope this helps, but it's mostly just educated guesses.

Pat

I am running an ibook with a 2.4.19 kernel and I'm trying to connect to
a Zuarus which is connected to my laptop via a usb cable.

I have installed hotplug and installed two configuration parts in my
network interfaces file. I added the eth1 lines after syslog showed an
eth1 entry - but I think I'm trying to do tcp/ip over usb. I'd like to
connect to my laptop initially. After that I'd like to route through my
laptop to hit the net. 
Basically, I'm confused.
