  • Install the recompiled affix for ROM v3.10 from:
    http://www.iral.com:88/~albertr/zaurus/feed/affix_2.0.2-2_arm.ipk

  • As root in the terminal do the following:
    cd /usr/sbin
    mv pppd pppd.orig
    cp /usr/sbin.rom/pppd .
    chmod 4755 pppd

  • Edit /etc/chatscripts/DUN and change the dial number to *99#
  • Edit /etc/pcmcia/affix.conf and change:
    module "affix_bt950uart_cs"
    To:
    module "affix","affix_rfcomm","affix_bt950uart_cs"
    (affix_bt950uart_cs corresponds to the chipset of your bluetooth CF)

  • Create a file called /etc/rc.d/init.d/mkbtys and add the following to it:
    #!/bin/bash
    if [ ! -a /dev/bty0 ]; then
    mknod -m 0644 /dev/bty0 c 60 0
    mknod -m 0644 /dev/bty1 c 60 1
    mknod -m 0644 /dev/bty2 c 60 2
    mknod -m 0644 /dev/bty3 c 60 3
    mknod -m 0644 /dev/bty4 c 60 4
    fi
