It is often important to know which version this is when communicating 
with other folks.  Go to the System Info applet and the last tab 
(Version) gives the numbers.

CDCEther is not the one to use...  usbdnet is the module for older 
kernels.  (Usbnet is the module for newer kernels)

I think the solution is here....

The PC and the Z _cannot_ have the same IP address.  Set the IPADDR 
for the PC to 192.168.129.1.  Some folks use 192.168.129.200.  It 
just cannot be .201.  Also, it is possible that DEVICE= should be 
'usbd0' rather than 'usb0'.  (usbd0 is for usbdnet module; usb0 is 
for usbnet on later kernels.)

I hope this works and these weren't just typos.
