Did you compile with usbdevfs support? Something is wrong with your usb
setup, or better show the output of lsusb. It should look like this:

Bus 001 Device 010: ID 049f:505a Compaq Computer Corp.
Device Descriptor:
  bLength 18
  bDescriptorType 1
  bcdUSB 1.00
  bDeviceClass 255 Vendor Specific Class
  bDeviceSubClass 0
  bDeviceProtocol 0
  bMaxPacketSize0 8
  idVendor 0x049f Compaq Computer Corp.
  idProduct 0x505a
  bcdDevice 0.00
  iManufacturer 0
  iProduct 1 SA1100 USB NIC
  iSerial 0
  bNumConfigurations 1
...

lsmod should look like this (without usb-storage, I have a camera
plugged in as well):
defiant:~# lsmod
Module Size Used by
usbnet 9328 1
usb-storage 20352 0
usb-uhci 20928 0 (unused)
usbcore 53216 1 [usbnet usb-storage usb-uhci]

Restarting usbnet on the ipaq may also help.

Oliver
