Cable Matters SuperSpeed USB 3.0 to RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet Network
Adapter in Black

Thank you for that suggestion. Assuming I do want to use a RJ-45
crossover cable, the simplest solution is two of these devices plus a
small 802.3 repeater. This private LAN will be invisible to any
external surveillance. Does SL 7 have the necessary drivers?

Although I am not requesting any specific brand endorsement, it would be
useful to know of hardware that does work and is supported by SL 7 with
maximum transparency for setting up a Internet protocol suite LAN over a
USB to 802.3 LAN; I would probably use ssh and scp between the two
machines. Both machines have working USB 3 ports under Linux (SL 7 in
one case, OpenSUSE 13.2 on the other).

isn’t so much the USB. USB as a design is a master/slave relationship.
So you cannot connect 2 normal computers together with an USB cable. It
doesn’t matter what you are wanting to do with it.
Use two USB ethernet ports. They're cheap, most of them work quite
well with Linux, they're handy for other uses, and easily configured
for little private, non-routable VLAN. Since most modern such ports
are GigE compatible, the connections are hermaphroditic, and you won't
even need a crossover cable. And the USB ethernet ports are invaluable
when confronted with broken wireless environments. I always keep one
in my "emergency computer widgets" bin.
