usbNet with Windows XP

Hi All,
 
I have recently installed familiar v.0.8.4 onto my h2200 series iPaq. I am
trying to get usb networking up and running with a Windows XP host PC. I
have followed the HowTo on
http://handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/WindowsXpUsbNetworkHowTo (the RNDIS, USB
Ethernet Gadget driver instructions).
 
I get as far as installing the 'Linux USB Ethernet/RNDIS Gadget', defined by
the specified linux.inf file. Although this installs, it displays the 'This
device cannot start. (Code 10)' error. The device shows up in Windows'
Device Manager as a Network Adapter, with the correct driver loaded, but no
network interface is created.
 
As per the instructions, my /etc/apm/scripts.d/usbnet file on the iPaq looks
like:

#!/bin/sh
# Unloads/loads usb0 so it always works

. /etc/default/usbd

if [ "$1" = suspend ]; then
        ifconfig usb0 down
        rmmod g_ether
        rmmod pxa2xx_udc
elif [ "$1" = resume ] && [ "$2" != standby ]; then
        modprobe g_ether
        modprobe -r $usbdmodule
        modprobe $usbdmodule
fi

I have an entry in /etc/network/interfaces on the iPaq like:

iface usb0 inet static
        address 192.168.0.202
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        network 192.168.0.0
        gateway 192.168.0.200

I notice that the usb0 interface does not come up automatically. Issuing the
conmmand

Ifconfig usb0 up

Results in it appearing in 

Can anyone confirm that the above procedure has worked for them and whether
it applies to the current release of Familiar? If so, does anyone have any
idea whether the problem is likely to lie on the handheld's or XP machine's
side?

Thanks,

Benjamin
