I had a similar problem.  My CDEther was taking precedence over my eth0
interface and breaking the machines connection to the network.  It's a
Redhat 8 distro.  The redhat box automatically configured the Zaurus
interface usb0 as the default ethernet connection.

|There are multiple drivers which all implement variants of Ethernet over

|
|CDCEther
|

|Sharp. OZ ain't ready for prime-time yet....

|The binary module's not going to work for you -- I'm SMP, and also patched
|for IPSec. I'm using the 0.4b revision of the source, if you need a copy
|of that, though (look for the string DRIVER_VERSION to see which version
|you have).
