Am I using the wrong list for this inquiry? I am not sure if I am barking down
the wrong pipe, or no one knows what in the world I am smoking (to continue
the mixed metaphor).

So I'm attempting to update the ROM on my new Sharp Zaurus 5000D, and having
difficulty getting qtopiadesktop to connect up with it. The problem may be
related to my never having used (set up?) my USB ports correctly, since I've
never used them up until now.

Qtopia Desktop doesn't seem to have any way to force the connection. So I go
to check if the usb port is even up:
[root@naeblis david]# ifup usb0
SIOCGIFFLAGS: No such device
Failed to bring up usb0.

How odd. I can't find ANYWHERE online exactly how to deal with this, and
 don't even know where to begin with SIOCGIFFLAGS. I've been trying to follow
 the directions in http://www.ruault.com/Zaurus/ethernet-over-usb-howto.html
 but I got stalled at the point where I don't HAVE a directory called
 /usr/src/linux - I have
 /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/[athlon/i386/i486/i586/i686/k6/noarch]... all of which are
 completely empty.

At this point /etc/modules.conf looks like this:

pre-install pcmcia_core CARDMGR_OPTS=-f /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia start
alias usb-interface usb-uhci
alias autofs autofs4
alias eth0 tulip
alias usb0 usbdnet /*added by me today*/
alias sound-slot-0 emu10k1

I'm running 2.4.18-6mdk if that helps, and here's /proc/pci:
[root@naeblis src]# cat /proc/pci

Sorry for the clueless questions, but several hours of Googling hasn't helped
any... do I just need to restart the machine? I wouldn't think so, since my
kernel patch was never successful.
