Now, I’ve seen people say that they are successful in telnetting to their E2 from a linux box. But none of them have provided me the proper solution. In other words, their instruction didn’t work for me. So for those who have the same problem as me here is MY solution.
-
modprobe usbnet modprobe cdc-acm
- Then, cconnect phone in USB mode.
- You will need root access on your box.
-
ifconfig usb0 192.168.16.1 broadcast 192.168.1.255 netmask 255.255.255.0 mtu 900
- Then in your phone, use a terminal or run a sh script with root permissions:
-
ifconfig usbl0 192.168.16.2 mtu 900
- You are ready for telnet!
-
telnet 192.168.16.2
- As usual, username: root, no password
Hope it helps! By the way, try on mkezx. It’s pretty cool except for that the “distribution” system is annoying to me. I prefer messy things.

Also you need the zaurus module. If you have (U|Ku|Xu)buntu 7.10 you need to compile them because there is no module named zaurus.ko in the kernel package.
icic.. but im using ubuntu 7.10.. i dont need the zaurus.ko
I am running xubuntu 8 on WMWare and I am not able to do this.
When i execute: sudo ifconfig usb0 192.168.16.1 broadcast 192.168.1.255 netmask 255.255.255.0 mtu 900
I get following errors:
SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
usb0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
SIOCSIFBRDADDR: No such device
usb0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device
SIOCSIFMTU: No such device
Could you help me?
where can i obtain the zaurus on hardy 8.4??
thanx
Needn’t bother phone shell or script thing, just config like
$ sudo ifconfig usb0 192.168.1.1
$ telnet 192.168.1.2
