There are several ways to connect your Zaurus to a linux box:
- using the usb(d)net kernel feature which treats a USB link as a network connection (USB)
- with a new subnet for the Zaurus and PC
- and ethernet bridging as described below
- using PPP over
- USB, serial, USB2serial converter
- IrDA
- Bluetooth
- Ethernet, Wifi
Once connected to access the outside world (anything but your computer) you'll neet to set up either casual routing or IP Masquerading (NAT), unless you use bridging which is by far the easiest and most automated method. :)
This should work with all models. However the docs seems to be written for 5500 with Sharp stock ROM.
Debian (USB w/ DHCP and Bridging)
Red Hat (USB) < 9
Red Hat (USB) 9+ or Red Hat with SL-5600
SSH and SCP Copy Files to and from your Zaurus over SSH with SCP
