usbnet won't work out of the box.

Are you sure you've disabled hardware flow control? That's the number
1 reason for not receiving any response?
What type of connector are you using?
What baud rate/settings are you using?
Was this purchased new or used? (it's possible the previous owner
changed the settings).
Have you verified that serial loopback works? (i.e. unplug the serial
cable from the gumstix and short Tx and Rx. You should be able to type
and see the characters typed echoed back. If you remove the short, you
should type and not see any characters echoed back.

If you can't get get that working, then you have a problem with your
PC or cable.
