I think I was this with my wireless card plugged in.
Haven't had time to fix that one yet.  Not sure my
NetGear WiFi card is supported.

I do have PPP working for my 9-pin D-type serial.  The
opie environment has a ppp user account and I run a 
PPP session on my workstation that keeps trying to connect.
I just plug it into the cradle and within a minute or two
there is a PPP link to my network up.  Routes and all.  I
can send you the config for that if you want - but it wasn't
hard to figure out.
