Mandrake specific bit:
http://www.zaurususergroup.com/modules.php...ake%20%28USB%29and then the generic bit for doing hotplug configuration:
http://www.zaurususergroup.com/modules.php...ric%20%28USB%29Though you don\'t need to do the module downloading and building as you should have the module already. In fact just jump to the bottom for the code you need to put in /etc/hotplug/usbnet to do hotplug configuration of the network.
As someone else mentioned you normally have to blacklist the acm and CDCEther modules (put them in /etc/hotplug/blacklist)
At least on Mandrake 10 the matching flags used in the usb.distmap seem to be too restrictive - so I copy the usbnet entry matching my device (vendor 0x4dd, product 0x8004 for the 5500) to the /etc/hotplug/usb.handmap file and change the matching flags from 0x0383 to 0x0003 (i.e. match vendor and product id only) Adding this stuff to the usb.handmap also means you don\'t have to do a depmod - but this is in the Mandrake note - just means the usbnet code which has the right bits for a number of zaurus\' doesn\'t spot the devices correctly.....sigh.
I\'ve just run through this on my new Mandrake 10 install and it all works fine - I\'ve done the same on Mandrake 9.2, RedHat 9, AS 3 and the same basic recipe (with the odd difference) has always worked for me.
Good Luck,
Steve
