[wplug] USB internet sharing / SSH tunnel?

[Shane Liesegang]

Yup, the community is pretty solid. I spent yesterday trying the methods 
  from OESF and the OpenZaurus wiki, but didn't have any luck. Probably 
some weird setting in Ubuntu's default networking. I'm going to give 
Eric's method a try and then do some more research if it doesn't work.

Thanks for the advice so far!
