I am having the same problem with an SL5500 and Mandrake 10.1.
These are from the PC:

[root@full log]#
On the Zaurus, the same commands all came up blank. The first two responded
Kernel IP routing table
with the headings for the table of data but the tables were empty.
The third command gave no response at all.
The 5500 is new to me. The systme info screen says Opie 0.9.3, kernel 2.4.6-rmk1-embed and OpenZaurus 3.2
I have a feeling there are some networking packages missing in this unit. Several pages suggest using the Network Setup Application. Although there is a Network icon in Settings, it comes up with a Connections tab and a Profiles Tab and both are empty. There all of the buttons ask you to set an interface first and there are none.
I am thinking I am missing some network components on the Zaurus and perhaps should put in the new 3.5.1 ROM image but I have heard the packaging module isn't working in that and I don't know which image to use (I have a 256 meg SD card and and 512 meg CF card plus a CF wireless lan card.).
