As is said, I am using Xubuntu. Its ubuntu with XFCE destop environment. But I am running it on virtual machine.
So I guess VMWare configuration is somewhat misconfigured.

ubuntu newer than gutsy has usbnet problem, you should find out zaurus.ko or sth. to patch usbnet, so it will show usb0 interface

I downgraded Xubuntu to 7.10 and I still have the same problem. Maybe I should downgrade to 6?

Downgraded to Xubuntu 7.04, and now usb0 interface is found correctly. By when I try to telnet to my phone (192.168.16.2) connection wont establish, and error, no route to destintaion, pops up. I guess something is still wrong.. |:

I don't know if I should give Ubuntu a try. But I think, I will.
