I had totally forgot that a virtual serial port now gets set up over usb,
i'd been spoiled by the virtual ethernet network setup over the usb and
using ssh to connect.  now at least I can get in when the network is
uncooperative.

I tried setting up ICS where I share wireless adapter 5 which goes to the
local 192.168.1.1 connected lan over wifi with adapter 2 which us the bone
usb then running  dhclient usb0 on the bone and it failed to get an ip
address on the bone.  instead it stayed at 192.168.7.2.  I then tried
bridging adapter 2 & 5 such that hopefully the beagle would grab an address
from the lan router but that sidn't work either.  Ultimately I see this as
a useful configuration for many of us working to get a bone bootstrapped
because one may not have a seperate display, mouse and keyboard to use or
more to the point the prior 2 and a network in the same place....  but if
the windows box can share it's internet connection with the bone then both
now work on the internet.

So what might I be missing in making this configuration work?
