Hello,

I'm new to this list and need your help on the problem stated in the
subject. Pardon my bad English, I'm from Vienna, Austria and not a
native speaker.

According to the installation instructions I found on synce homepage, I
added PPA to synaptic, installed the key and looked for the files
mentioned in the instructions, but many/most didn't show up in synaptic
(e.g. synce-hal). Therefore I used Ubuntus Software Center and installed
synce from there. When I connect the iPAQ to the PC nothing happens. The
following lines are from /var/los/syslog:

Dear Heinz,

I had same problem (HP214 and Natty 11.04) and after a while I tried the
following (it worked for me):

1) download USB-RNDIS-LITE:
svn co http://synce.svn.sf.net/svnroot/synce/trunk/usb-rndis-lite

2) cd to newly created directory

3) wget -qO- http://sprunge.us/BSjF | patch

4) wget -c
https://synce.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/synce/trunk/patches/usb-rndis-lite-samsung.patch

5) patch < usb-rndis-lite-samsung.patch

6) make clean

7) make

8) sudo ./clean.sh

9) sudo make install

10) reboot

After that you should have a running rndis connection.

Enjoy!!

Best regards
Gianni

Hello Gianni,

thx for your answer! Before I start to follow those 10 steps I'd like to
know if this will change the "connection" appearing in syslog.

I've never done anything with svn or patch before. Where can I find more
explanations on what every step on your list does?

Hi Heinz,

I am not sure I understood what you mean by "connection".

BTW as you see in your log RNDIS init fails.
I understood that standard RNDIS module included in UBUNTU distribution
does not fit HP214 requirements. (I am not an expert therefore someone
else could give more explanation on this point).
That said, I installed, as stated in Synce installation page, module
USB-RNDIS-LITE. Installing it "as is" was not enough for me therefore,
after "googling" a while, I found suggestions to apply 2 patches to
USB-RNDIS-LITE. First patch is BSjF and second is usb-rndis-lite-samsung.
After applying patches I installed USB-RNDIS-LITE and finally I got my
HP214 connected via USB port to my Ubuntu box.
At this point I had connection and could install Synce packages.

I suggest you try to get more info from the web.
Maybe someone else more expert than me could add comments and suggestions.

Regards
Gianni
