i configured the
/etc/network/interfaces on the PC:

allow-hotplug usb0

mapping hotplug
script grep
map usb0

iface usb0 inet static
address 192.168.2.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.2.255

but with ifup usb0 I get
SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
usb0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
etc

any other suggestions?

Please do not top post.
The error you're getting usually means that the driver for the network
device isn't present. Did you follow the earlier advice and check
'lsmod | grep usbnet'? Is usb0 listed in 'ifconfig -a'?

lsmod gives usbnet
but usb0 is not listed by ifconfig -a

what is the driver name?

According to this [0], older kernels need just the 'usbnet' module, while
newer ones need a separate minidriver. The page discusses what you need
for various hardware.
