Well, I hope I'm using the synce-hal, 'cause the ifconfig show me a new
interface (rndis0) when I plug the device. When I was using the odccm the
interface only were showed when I ran the program (odccm).

----------
# ifconfig
rndis0 Link encap:Ethernet Endere=E7o de HW 80:f4:00:00:9e:b4
UP BROADCASTRUNNING MULTICAST MTU:3954 M=E9trica:1

RX bytes:396 (396.0 B) TX bytes:134 (134.0 B)

But how you can see, the interface have errors.

The main advantage with using synce-hal is that it deals with both legacy
connections (PPP over serial over usb, via ipaq driver) and new style
connections ( ethernet over usb, via rndis_host driver). Another advantag=

is
that synce-hal uses DHCP to acquire an IP address from the device when it
is
connected, while in odccm you had to manually provide an IP address
yourself.
Therefore, if you are still using odccm, please install synce-hal. I don'=

know about lenny, but I think that synce-hal is in debian unstable.

I compiled the version: synce-hal-0.14.
Before this I had compiled these : librapi2, libsynce, odccm,
usb-rndis-lite, and nothing was uninstalled.
