Mad Developer? No?

Isn't the great thing about Linux the fact that you can do this stuff at the system level in like five seconds if you know the shell commands necessary?

rmmod g_file_storage
insmod g_ether (Nokia removed this from the later firmwares; it's in power kernel, or you can get it by installing Mad Developer).
ifconfig usb0 ...

...so on. (I don't use linux on my laptop or home machine; I am not going to bother looking up the commands for you. So those above aren't actual literal enter-this-in-X-term things - but they're along the lines of what stuff should be done, in approximately what order. I am very confident that this has been explained in USB Networking wiki entries on this site, however.)
