Okay, seems that usb is not running properly on the ipaq. I always see
this when I plug the ipaq after a suspend, that is why I sticked an
entry to the menu to restart it... (/etc/init.d/usbnet stop;
/etc/init.d/usbnet start)

Do you have a network interface on the ipaq? Mine looks like this:

# ifconfig
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
...
usbf Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 32:F5:D2:CF:CD:14
          inet addr:192.168.4.2 Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP RUNNING MTU:1500 Metric:1
          RX packets:410 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:230 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
          RX bytes:26648 (26.0 Kb) TX bytes:40917 (39.9 Kb)

Did you use the script to start usbnet from the site you mentioned
(http://handhelds.org/z/wiki/How%20do%20I%20setup%20USB%20networking)?
