Well, what I mean is that the driver itself (which g_ether is not) is
not all: you have to choose how you want the device to behave: as an USB
key (USB Mass Storage)? A network adaptater? A serial console?
All those things are done by different modules (like g_ether), that are
independent from the driver itself.

In our case, the USB interface is the only usable network interface.
Furthermore, the other modules are not really useful on this device
(well, g_filestorage might be, but has important limitations afaik).
