i also have an ipaq 1945, and have experimented with installing linux on it. your best (and i think only) resources are these two (related) websites

http://handhelds.org/hypermail/h1900-port/
http://vserver.13thfloor.at/H1940/

currently, from the software available above, linux is bootable on the ipaq, however the only way to currently communicate with the ipaq once linux has booted is through the infrared port !

Have you tried the bluetooth or is it not supported. I have a bluetooth dongle for my pc although I haven't tried setting it up under linux yet.
