There is a valid use case for making it possible for Ben to attach to a Windows host as a USB device. IMO the sales opportunity this would enable could be an order of magnitude greater than Wolfgang's sales of maybe 1,500 or fewer Ben Nanonotes to date.
This is above my technical depth, but Jay7 (thanks!) found this: http://www.linux-usb.org/gadget/ says: Ethernet over USB ... the USB peripheral will enumerate to the host as an Ethernet device, using the "usbnet" driver with Linux hosts or Microsoft's RNDIS driver with Windows hosts. Set it up like any other two-host Ethernet link; bridging it to the LAN from the USB host may be the easiest way to run. Linux hosts do this with CONFIG_BRIDGE and tools like "brctl". Windows XP hosts have a GUI for bridging; it comes up when the RNDIS driver creates a second network link. --- Ron K.
