Yes, there is a GUI. Most interfaces say Disconnected (bnep0, usbd0,
usb0, eth1, eth0, atml0, wlan0), some say Unknown (irda0, usbf, sit0)
and Loopback is running.

If I select an interface in the list, e.g. usb0, and tap the Start/stop
button, a new window (Interface Information) popup, showing some
grayed-out fields with IP address and subnet mask both set to 0.0.0.0.
If I tap the Start button, I get a messagebox saying "Starting interface
failed".

Done. I also added cdc_ether cdc_subset to the /etc/modules file.

Done.

Done.

On iPAQ:
IP address	192.168.0.202
Subnet Mask	255.255.255.0
Gateway		192.168.0.200
and set to "Automatically bring up"

On PC:
iface usb0 inet static
	address 192.168.0.200
	netmask 255.255.255.0
	broadcast 192.168.0.255

Ups! 

thomas@x21:~$ sudo ifup usb0
usb0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
usb0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device
SIOCSIFBRDADDR: No such device
usb0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
usb0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
Failed to bring up usb0.

Well, not quite there yet... :-)

Well, not really, but thanks anyway!
