That step is what allows the FreeRunner to connect to the internet
through your PC. It wouldn't do anything if your FreeRunner can't
connect to the PC.
All I have to do to connect to my PC via USB is what is listed on the
Getting Started page:
sudo ifconfig usb0 192.168.0.200 netmask 255.255.255.0
ssh root at 192.168.0.202
