Windows Mobile and CDC Ethernet

Hi, guys!

I'm trying to sync my new HTC-Apache (with Windows Mobile) with my ubuntu box.

I installed synce-kde. I'm following the instructions set there.

I'm on the "loading ipaq" stage of the process. According to the documentation It's unlikely that It'll work cause the device has Windows Mobile (instead of Windows CE), however I wanted to at least try my best to see when the ubuntu box would crash. ;-)

I loaded the ipaq module, but there was no output that talked about the Apache:

Code:

[17768840.752000] usbcore: registered new driver usbserial
[17768840.752000] drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial support
registered for generic
[17768840.752000] usbcore: registered new driver usbserial_generic
[17768840.752000] drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial Driver core
[17768840.760000] drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial support
registered for PocketPC PDA
[17768840.760000] drivers/usb/serial/ipaq.c: USB PocketPC PDA driver v0.5
[17768840.760000] usbcore: registered new driver ipaq

When I looked with a little more detail, as it says in the instructions (http://synce.sourceforge.net/synce/howto.php) I can see :

Code:

D:  Ver= 2.00 Cls=ef(unk. ) Sub=01 Prot=01 MxPS=16 #Cfgs=  1

From there (and lshw and lsusb output) I think that the ipaq module is not being associated to this particular device. Though I think it's gonna crash, I want ipaq to try to "bring up" this device.

I modified modules.usbmap'and added this entry:

Code:

ipaq                 0x0003      0x0bb4   0x0b02    0x0000       0x0000       0x00         0x00            0x00            0x00

But even then ipaq doesn't say anything about this device and the box doesn't crash (any of those outcomes would mean I'm having a little advance).

Do you have any ideas on how I should procede?

Is it possible to use CDC Ethernet instead of RNDIS on a Windows-Mobile-powered phone so that I can sync it with linux?

I have a HTC-Apache phone and as it is based on PXA-27x the rndis driver doesn't support it yet. I wonder if it's possible to try to make the phone use CDC instead of rndis.
