my Zaurus SL-C3000 and SL-C3100
# net -resume (manually force network to resume)
Here is a sample config file for a private network:
DHCPC=no
IP=192.168.1.2
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
DOMAIN=
GATEWAY=192.168.1.1
PROXY=0
PROXYHOST=
PROXYPORT=
DNS1=192.168.1.1
DNS2=
net also has a GUI front-end using opie-sh, but in order to use the GUI, sudo needs to be
configured to allow zaurus user to change the network settings, ie. ifconfig and dhcpcd. I also
created a netswitch package [netswitch_0.4_arm.ipk] which will do the above steps when installed.
Some application such as NetFront insist on doing their own connection and disconnection to the
network and ignore the fact that your USB network is already connected. As a workaround net has
a refresh option to reset the network status whenever those programs mess with it. Simply run the
following after you have launched NetFront:
# net refresh
A lot of the USB network cards use either the rtl8150 chipset or are compatible with the pegasus
driver. Drivers for both are included with netswitch, so installing the netswitch package should
enable your USB LAN device in most cases. However, some network cards use other chipsets. You
should be able to compile your own driver if you can find the driver source. See gcc section for
further details.
Using the advanced USB sync:
The USB sync cable which allows you to access your Zaurus as a USB disk can also be used in
TCP/IP mode which means you could use that cable to network your Zaurus and your PC.
To do this, you first need to install the USB NDIS drivers onto your PC or laptop. The Zaurus
Software for the PC (Windows) does not use UniCode and hence displays garbage when run on an
English version of Windows (even if you have installed the Japanese language pack and your
browser can display Japanese websites without problems). To fix this, change the default Windows
system locale to Japanese and restart Windows. Then run X:\PCSOFT\Setup.exe from the Zaurus
CD-ROM and you will be able to read the Japanese.
Select next as appropriate and use the following as guide for the options:
