I'll admit the USB network setup can be handy at times (especially if you don't have a USB serial cable), but I haven't tried to get it setup.
It shouldn't be too hard, since I believe RCN is enabling it in the Debian builds intended to replace the Angstrom disto loaded into the eMMC at the factory, but I have approximately zero need or desire to make USB networking function, and a lot of other issues to fix. If you do get something working, share the results and I'll try to get it folded into the image build scripts.
