Howto sync your windows mobile 5 device with Linux using Synce
The information on this page is not complete, and it is not yet possible to sync your Windows Mobile 5 device using synce. This page only describes the necessary things to setup your Linux box and Synce to communicate with you PDA. Please refer to my post at the synce-windowsmobile5 mailinglist for the latest information.
Ethereal traces
I logged the communication with ethereal between a windows-xp system (hostname rd-richard) and my pda, using the usb connection. I made sure that there were no tasks, mails, and other items to synchronize. I disconnected the device, and set the default capture interface to the Microsoft RNDIS virtual adapter miniport. After that I plugged in the cable, quickly pressed start from the capture menu and let the device sync. After that I stopped the capture process. Here are the first frames with communication on port 990 only! (frames within the first 75 frames)
