[Sussex] Ipaq 3970 bootblaster

[Dominic]

Whist trying to set up ppp on this stoopid iPAQ, the docs I found keep
taking about putting /dev/ttySAO in the /etc/ppp/options file.  I don't
have this node in my /dev hierarchy.

What is /dev/ttySAO? (There's bugger all on Google 'bout this!)

Steve,

I've got Opie working now...  I'm impressed.
The only thing is I havn't got usb connectivity working yet

The modprobe usb-eth command worked.

If I type:

ifconfig usbf up 1.1.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
Then  it says: SIOCSIFFLAGS: no such device
But if I just do: ifconfig usbf 
Then it lists a device called usbf

Also do I need to use PPP to communicate through usb?

Dominic

Sorry I didn't reply to this before but I didn't see it at home. Don't
know why?!?!?

It will reboot as a normal PC would when powered on.  The normal output
goes to the console which is the TTY port coming out the base - but you
should see a Linux logo on the screen as it boots.

JFFS2 is good at not losing stuff so you shouldn't have a problem.
