[From: Keppler Alecrim]

Hi ,
        That is my fisrt post here. I've done a quick howto about USB
network with my steps and I compare with that on maemo page. The difference
is in your machine configuration. You need some modules to use USB network.
I needed to recompile with some options , like :
Device Drivers
USB support
USB Network Adapters
Multi-purpose USB Networking Framework
Simple USB Network Links (CDC Ethernet subset)
[*] Embedded ARM Linux links (iPaq, ...)
USB Gadget Support
<*> Support for USB Gadgets
<*> USB Gadget Drivers (Ethernet Gadget (with CDC Ethernet support))

Networking
Networking support (NET [=y])
Networking options
Network packet filtering (replaces ipchains) (NETFILTER [=y])
IP: Netfilter Configuration
<*> Connection tracking (required for masq/NAT)


And load the modules :

modprobe  cdc_ether



The complete howto is on http://franciscoalecrim.blogspot.com
