sarge -> etch: usbnet

["Andreas Goesele" <Goesele@hfph.mwn.de>]

Hi!

Here another problem I had (still have :-() moving to etch.

I have a zaurus which under sarge I could connect to using usbnet and
hotplug.

But now this doesn't work anymore.

In /etc/network/interfaces I have:

allow-hotplug usb0

mapping hotplug
        script grep
        map usb0

iface usb0 inet static
        address 192.168.129.1
        pointopoint 192.168.129.201
        netmask 255.255.255.255

(As for instance explained in
https://maemo.org/maemowiki/HowToSetUpUsbNetworkingDebian)

Loading usbnet, cdc_subset (or cdc_ether) with modprobe doesn't help.

(According to http://www.linux-usb.org/usbnet/ I would assume I need
cdc_subset - under sarge I used CDCEther.)

But whatever I do: Connecting the Zaurus doesn't create any event
according to dmesg. lsusb gives "Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000"
whether the Zaurus is connected or not. ifconfig -a doesn't show usb0.

Usb-Storage device work.

Any suggestions?

Thanks a lot in advance!
