If so, I presume this "usb0" interface acts in a similar fashion as my "eth0" for example (ifconfig, route etc can be applied to it), right? Quite a revelation to me this! How do I get it connected on the "host" side (on my PC on which the usb is used) - do I see a similar adapter on it as well?

Do I have to set up special routing (i.e. with route add etc) for it? Do I have to give it an ip address from the net I am on my host PC or is this different?
