FWIW, the block-level access concept I was describing would work with the USB storage protocol, which one could consider a widely supported special-case configurationless local network setup. The issue with "real" networking is always configuration or selection. Then you need things like NetworkManager. It's a pity that USB doesn't have - despite its phantastically complex signaling - real service multiplexing (like TCP port numbers). - Werner
