@tithonium @foone and they have a built in web server that runs on that interface to drag&drop files between the device and your big computer

  @jpm @tithonium @foone How well does the USB ethernet approach play with typical OS network configuration? Is there a DHCP server that assigns an address without a default route? Does it interfere with normal real network traffic? What if the assigned address collides with something on existing real LAN?

  @jpm @tithonium @foone The reason I ask os that I've wanted to try the same (actually bluetooth ethernet) for device control from phone, but was worried about problems like this.

  @tedmielczarek @jpm @tithonium @foone Right, but clashing address would still prevent you from accessing the same-address device on LAN. Zeroconf sounds kinda viable but slow to come up waiting for DHCP to timeout, no? IPv6 only would be ideal but I doubt they were brave enough to do that..

  @dalias @jpm @tithonium @foone I assume it uses a zeroconf address: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-configuration_networking
  Remember that the "Ethernet" device here isn't connected to your actual network, it's just a protocol over USB. You can do this with a Raspberry Pi Zero, too: https://learn.adafruit.com/turning-your-raspberry-pi-zero-into-a-usb-gadget/ethernet-gadget

    Zero-configuration networking
    
    Zero-configuration networking (zeroconf) is a set of technologies that automatically creates a usable computer network based on the Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP) when computers or network peripherals are interconnected. It does not require manual operator intervention or special configuration servers. Without zeroconf, a network administrator must set up network services, such as Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and Domain Name System (DNS), or configure each computer's network settings manually. Zeroconf is built on three core technologies: automatic assignment of numeric network addresses for networked devices, automatic distribution and resolution of computer hostnames, and automatic location of network services, such as printing devices. Background Computer networks use numeric network addresses to identify communications endpoints in a network of participating devices. This is similar to the telephone network which assigns a string of digits to identify each telephone. In modern networking protocols, information to be transmitted is divided into a series of network packets. Every packet contains...

    Turning your Raspberry Pi Zero into a USB Gadget
    
    This tutorial is a writeup of how you can follow along and turn your Pi zero into a Usb Serial device or Ethernet device. That's two whole ways of being able to connect to your Pi zero just by plugging in a micro B cable!
