Ok, I'm stumped. I've got a linux handheld (GP2X) that got USB Network
functionality with the latest firmware. I'm trying to set it up with my
Slack 10.1/Linux 2.4.31 box, and I've hit a wall.

All of my googling suggests that if it works, then the drivers will be
detected by hotplug and show up in /var/log/messages, and a new
interface will show up under ifconfig. Unfortunately, the pages seem
rather split, some saying the module is usbnet and that CDCEther needs
to be blacklisted, others saying to use CDCEther.

Having tried it both ways, neither gives me an interface, but the
drivers are detected. (Paste from /var/log/messages below is without
CDCEther blacklisted)

driver for USB modems and ISDN adapters
May 15 10:11:53 thorr kernel: usb.c: registered new driver CDCEther

Anyone have any idea what (probably obvious) step(s) I'm missing?
