I also don't think it will take that long.
In synce tradition, what you are describing tastes like "mdccm" :) What are we talking about with HAL integration? Pushing properties into HAL is a good goal, but not urgent. Getting everything to "just work" when you plug in is, IMO, very important and I guess what I originally meant. I don't really like the idea of having odccm and sync-engine running all the time though. > DHCP has been mentioned a few times, so ok run a dhcp server on the > linux box, set the device to use dhcp, but what about an ip for the > linux box's end of the connection.

For the moto q's you had to dhclient rndis0, so yes I think the device is packing DHCP. And yes, I fear the utter chaos too. Your in the UK aren't you? If i can get my old WM5 device working i'd happily loan it you for testing. On the condition that you are then more HAL friendly :P John ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.
