[OT] usbnet problem on pc side

hello !

i have tried to set up usb networking, as described in
http://handhelds.org/z/wiki/How%20do%20I%20setup%20USB%20networking
.

the ipaq side is fine, but i don't get an usb[n] device on my pc
when i modprobe usbnet and plug in the ipaq:
#ifconfig usb0
usb0: error fetching interface information: Device not found

i figured i might need to alias usb0 to usbnet in my
/etc/modules.conf, but that didn't help. i'm using alan cox's
2.4.9-ac7 kernel.

the ipaq is detected when i plug it in, but not as a net device.
here's what usbview shows:

Unknown Device
Speed: 12Mb/s (full)
USB Version: 0.00
Device Class: 00(>ifc )
Device Subclass: 00
Device Protocol: 00
Maximum Default Endpoint Size: 0
Number of Configurations: 0

anybody ?
