Mac USB Networking

I had slightly more luck with the opensource zaurus driver also mentioned on
the mac page - but I found neither solution worked well - after rebooting 6
or 7 times I think I managed to get the USB networking going once.   I'm
afraid I gave up and ended up just using a linux server that I was fortunate
to have access to...

I tried briefly using a Linux vmware image, but I also couldn't get that
working.

If anyone else has managed to get this to work, I'd love to hear about it...
