The g_ether kernel module, in the kernel-module-g-ether package, allows targets to use a USB connection as a network interface. However, that's not useful until the module is loaded.

The usbinit package provides the /etc/init.d/usb-gether script to load the g_ether module at boot, so it should be included along with kernel-module-g-ether.

Tested with core-image-base on beagleboard.
