Usb Connection Howto, Windows & Linux - OE specific Options

[lardman]

Another pinned topic :-)

Let's nail setting up USB connections between a Z and a PC (running WinXP or Linux), which is a basic thing which ought to be documented (and which comes up from time to time).

What we need is:
* Your Z (hardware, OZ version, kernel version)
* Your PC OS (including kernel version/service pack/etc.)
* Where you got the drivers from (if needed)
* What changes you made on the PC (if any, mainly for Linux)
* What changes you made on your Z (if any)

Cheers,


Si

P.S. I know there are already HowTos in the ZUG HowTos area, however these generally apply to Sharp ROMs (and although there may not be many differences, there are enough).

By all means, lift the info from there if it works, it'll go back in there once this is all sorted.

After Windows recognizes SL-6000, point it to UsbDrivers Dir, follow the wizards.

PC-Side Changes
When it finally settles down, go to network connections, enable connection sharing for your internet connection.
Z-Side Changes
