As some of you may remember, I posted two messages over the last week asking about the state of usbnet under Debian sarge (3.1r3). Well, today I finished burning new distribution disks for Debian etch (weekly build Oct. 9/10, kernel 2.6.17) and installed same on my PC and I can report that usb networking functioned without problems the first time I connected my Nokia to my PC.
Thus, it does appear that Debian sarge 3.1r3 (kernel 2.4.x) doesn't really play that well with the Nokia and usbnet (at least not from a plain vanilla Dell Dimension 4600 PC). In any case, it might be wise to change the HowTo on usb networking to state that Debian sarge and 2.4.x kernels may not work and the solution is to go to a 2.6.x kernel or perhaps even to the Debian etch distribution.
