[iPAQ] Re: [Familiar] usb networking

HI thanks

What about the usbnet file the howto on the wiki mentions?
I don't need that anymore?

I don't know where you found all this out but voila the
> /sbin/ifconfig usb0 192.168.1.14/32 up
and
/sbin/route add 192.168.1.15 dev usb0

was what I was missing I remember something like it existing but I
couldn't find reference to it anywhere.

Thanks
this is great.

let me know about the hotplug issue.
much thanks
