The USB drivers work beautifully for me.  I am running Open Zaurus 3.2 
on the Z (5000d ouch).

I think the real trick is to make sure that you have your zaurus, mac 
and qtopia on the same set of ips..  The zaurus should default to 
192.168.129.201 for an ip. On the mac go to System Preferences / 
Network and choose Show: Ethernet Adapter (en2).  Then choose 
Configure: Manually.  Enter something like 192.168.129.101 in the Ip 
box.  Close the preferences and launch Qtopia Desktop.  Go to 
qtopiadesltop menu / preferences / general and make sure usb is 
selected and 192.168.129.201 is set as the ip.  On the z go to security 
under settings.    Set Accept sync from network:  192.168.129.0/24  and 
the Qtopia should pick it up.

Qtopia still seems a little funky to me.  Each time I switch to qtopia 
from another app it hangs for a second or two before letting me do 
anything. Kinda a pain if you are data entering from another program.  
Also, for some bizarre reason, the apple Mail client can't get to the 
net when i have the zaurus connected via usb.  I can open up a 
different mail client and i can pull up mail fine. It doesn't seem to 
affect any other program and routing looks fine.....
