dhcp-relay will forward dhcp requests between subnets but you do not have multiple subnets defined.
I am missing something in how the iPaq is connected. Is it connected by an Ethernet cable to the USB adaptor?
It would seem to me that you have to have 2 subnets.
If you defined the netmask as 255.255.255.128 then eth0 and usb0 would be on different subnets. I am assuming the router would have an address in the 192.168.1.2-127 range.

I have a Compaq iPaq with Linux installed on it (see http://opie.handhelds.org/), and it is connected to my Gentoo Linux box with USB ethernet. The Gentoo box is connected to an Ovislink router (with a DHCP server) via regular ethernet. I want the hanheld to be able to talk to the net via the Gentoo box. I have not been able to get IP masquerading to work under Gentoo. I would prefer to have the handheld get its IP address from the router (and have the Gentoo box just forward the packets). Does anyone know how to get this working? Here is some info about my situation:

This is how I bring up the network to the PDA: modprobe uhci sleep 1 insmod usbnet ifconfig usb0 192.168.1.200 netmask 255.255.255.0 pointopoint 192.168.1.3 up route add -host 192.168.1.3 usb0
If anyone is interested in the really gritty details, I have attached the config file for my kernel.
Does anyone know what I need to do? Thanks.
