I don't have a Zaurus but you will find the kernel config in /boot
In the default kernel for Hoary "/boot/config-2.6.10-4-386," I find -

# Intelligent USB Devices/Gadgets
#
CONFIG_USB_ARMLINUX=y
CONFIG_USB_EPSON2888=y
CONFIG_USB_ZAURUS=y
CONFIG_USB_CDCETHER=y

Looks to me like it has support for your device.
