Those "device not accepting address" errors indicate pre-hotplug
problems with your USB setup. Did you try the "uhci" driver?
It might not have that "device not accepting address" error. Is
the AC adapter hooked up to your Zaurus? I don't think the SA-1100
can be bus-powered. Did you try using the port which does seem
to be working (for your CF adapter)?
In any case, that's likely the reason you're not having success:
hotplug can't kick in until _after_ USB itself is working, but
so far it isn't.
If usb-storage doesn't hotplug for you, but works, I'd also have
to suspect something odd about your hotplug setup. But at least
it looks like that device talked to USB.
Also, try skipping "usbdnet": use the original "usbnet" driver,
which has finally gotten the (small) patch needed to teach it how
to use the protocol your Zaurus expects. Use on 2.4.20-rc1:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-usb-devel&m\x103679596705336&w=2
With that patch, "usbnet" now handles all the common Linux PDAs:
iPaq and Yopy (using standard ARM Linux kernels and "usb-eth"),
also Zaurus (using the Lineo kernel and "eth-fd").
