Hi Luis,

I would be very interested in seeing if the 'hack' works with other SE  
phones. My K800i works as an Ethernet device flawlessly, but the K850i  
I *had* would not. The CDC USB Ethernet device appeared as usb0, but  
you could not obtain a DHCP lease across it.

I wrote about this here: http://www.ninjabadger.net/2008/07/29/why-sony-why/


I would be interested in a solution, but unfortunately would not be  
able to test it as the K850i has been sold on: it drive me nuts. :)

Tom
