On tablet (running honeycomb)

 # ifconfig usbeth0
usbeth0   Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr E6:38:B1:D6:96:1D
          inet addr:192.168.200.1  Bcast:192.168.200.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)

On ubuntu laptop (11.10 x64)

~$ ifconfig usb0
usb0: error fetching interface information: Device not found

I was hoping when I plug my usb a male to a male cable from tablet to
the laptop the ubuntu hotplug will create a usb0 network interface.

I will just give it an IP on same network to do ethernet over usb.

Then run rsync on laptop to backup my tablet.
