Seems to be a way to use USB to create a mini network of two computers?

Yes, and it actually works quite nicely. I have one of these here,
called "USB-LinQ" and it's handled by the "usbnet" driver:
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 067b:0000 Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2301
USB-USB Bridge
When plugged in, I can configure as a new "usb0" network interface. I am
sure you can configure it as a hotplug network device in YaST to
automatically assign an IP address when it's plugged in.
However, the throughput is quite low - USB1.1 is a dog.
Bye,
