I'm using 2.6.7-1-686 on the debian box - all the config described above
is for the debian box, and usbnet is afaict the appropriate module for
talking the zaurus. The zaurus is running openzaurus.
On the zaurus side of things, Im not sure which module it is - but it
_seems_ ok. If I exclude hotplug from the debian side of things, then I
can make a usb ethernet connection fine, but debian seems to drop the
connection after any thing from 5sec to 5min. I only assume debian does
the droping as usb0 ceases to exist on the debian box, but stays up on
the zaurus.
