All,
I was unable to get the USB connection to work on 3.5.1. The connection is a usb connector and not the cradle. This connector worked on previous ROMs; however that is no garuntee.
The wlan0 connection came up so it is not a core network issue.
Thanks,
Dan

configure usbd0 in networksettings - it is by default set to DHCP - then it will work always (atleast it should)
-
USB completely stopped working for me with the new Oz rom, Windows says "Unrecognised USB Device", and now it doesnt work on any rom
-
a.. MS Windows.. I cannot help then.. Use only Linux and my 'collie' always worked - nevermind which kernel I had on desktop.

It would appear that hotplug is playing up again.
I can use one of my mass-storage scripts (the one which re-starts the net_fd service) to get usb tcp-ip working - this basically just reloads the net_fd.o module & the other usb odds and sods.
The script is:
#!/bin/sh
/sbin/rmmod pxa_bi
/sbin/rmmod net_fd
/sbin/rmmod usbdcore
/sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix/kernel/drivers/usb/device/usbdcore.o
/sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix/kernel/drivers/usb/device/net_fd/net_fd.o
/sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix/kernel/drivers/usb/device/bi/pxa_bi.o

I have had this problem too, at least there is something I can do short of rebooting. Thanks for the info. Is there a relatively easy way to fix the hotplugging problem?
-
pxa_bi does not seem to be loaded.
What causes this module to be loaded?
My plan is to test this script; I will report the result.

I tried GPE, now I cannot connect to the Z via the cradle. I tried network settings and set Address to 192.168.129.201.
OS is Mandrake 10. What I get is:
Sep 24 21:40:05 localhost kernel: usb 1-2.1: new full speed USB device using address 16
Sep 24 21:40:05 localhost kernel: usb0: register usbnet at usb-0000:00:1d.0-2.1, Sharp Zaurus SL-5x00

Tried lardman's script, pxa_bi was not loaded, net_fd said the usb device is busy. Please someone give me directions, I don't want to be a guinea pig anymore, I want to go back to a bad-looking but stable firmware, but this way I cant copy the necessary files to the CF card.
Thanks a lot.

@tunemx: Which device are you using?

Oh, sorry, what do you mean?
I use OZ 3.5.1 GPE, cradle USB, Linux is Mandrake 10.0.
Tried to get up usbd in Network Settings, checked dhcp (default option), but nothing happened. Still no connection to the Z.
I also checked static, and set up 192.168.129.201 as Address, and 255.255.255.0 as mask... Nothing too.

I meant are you using a 5500 or a 5000D? If so the above script won't work for you. You'd need to alter all occurances of pxa_bi to sa1100_bi (or is it sa1110_bi?).

I told some time ago a simple solution for the problem.
Something is wrong with the bi module. I have two scripts in the suspend e resume of apm to rmmod and insmod the module.
Maybe 2.6 modules don't have such problems.
File /etc/apm/resume.d/R01sa1100_bi
#! /bin/sh
modprobe sa1100_bi
and file /etc/apm/suspend.d/S99sa1100_bi
#! /bin/sh
rmmod sa1100_bi
This can be done with pxa_bi too, I guess.

Ah it is a 5500
