Mandrake is using a 2.4.x kernel. So it's pretty easy:

on ipaq:
- modprobe usbeth

on pc:
- modprobe usbnet

put ipaq onto cradle / make USB connect (it is critical, that the ipaq
is not connected before both modules are loaded, if it is, it will not
be detected and you must unload/load the modules on both computers)

on ipaq:
- ifconfig usbn inet <your ipaq's ip address> gw <your pc's ip address> up

on pc:
- ifcofnig usb0 inet <your pc's ip address> up

on any:
- ping the other

for a longer instruction, search the ipaq archive for my description on
how to use proxy arp to connect the ipaq to your pcs network.
If you don't need to reach an other box you should be fine with the
above.
