On recent SHR and probably FSO (haven't got MS5 going yet) connman is taking 
control of usb0 and trying o use dhcp to get an address. Since I have a 
bridged configuration on the machine I plug it into this actually succeeds, 
but for most people it will fail to get an address. In either case ifdown usb0 
then ifup usb0 gives it the configuration found in /etc/network/interfaces 
which is what people are used to seeing.
