Can't quite get there, I have a missing link. I can get into a shell on the
freerunner and see the ifconfig info for usb0 -

usb0: ip 192.168.0.202 mask 255.255.255.0 flags [up broadcast running
multicast]

And ping the notebook on 192.168.0.200. Adding a route with -

route add default gw 192.168.0.200 dev usb0

Once that's done I can ping the public IP address of the notebook as well. I
think there's some sort of firewall stuff on this machine (work laptop)
that's preventing me from forwarding packets, but the main problem I have is
that there's no /etc/resolv.conf so I'm not sure how to add DNS info. I
could add the file and try that I s'pose.

Also the command line ssh (dropbear client) chokes because it can't get
random data.
