hi Alexander,

For Beagleboard C4, file  init.omap3.sh _could_ be the same once you
already set up USB
networking in host side.  However, it is hard to assume every desktop
host provides DHCP
server.

Instead, people might expect to configure usbnet IP address manually.
I think there is no
technical problem of Jeremy's patch, and I just care about the usability.

Sincerely,
Jim Huang (jserv)
