Need help with internet over usb (running ubuntu lucid)

Recently got my beagleboard, and installed ubuntu (Ubuntu 10.04.1
LTS). I want to connect it to internet over USB OTG. It seems would be
much easier to connect over USB-Etheret adapter, but where I live
there are 2 options to get them: 1) from e-bay = 8$ + 1 month delivery
or 2) from local e-shops = >20$ + 6$ delivery in 3 days. Or I could
try connecting over USB.

Only tutorial I have found is this:

But this is for Angstrom i think. At least this first part:

once you have logged in, enable g_ether.ko driver by

# cd /lib/modules/2.6.29-omap1/kernel/drivers/usb/gadget/
# insmod g_ether.ko

Now the driver is enabled. Now connect the USB-OTG cable between beagleboard and host computer.
Configure the connection as follows:-

# ifconfig usb0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
# route add default gw 192.168.1.5
# vi /etc/resolv.conf
    Add hostIP as nameserver, your hostIP will be 192.168.1.5 as explained later
    -> nameserver 192.168.1.5

# export http_proxy="http://192.168.36.204:8080"

the last step set the variable to our local proxy and port number , change this according to the connection on
your host machine.

I only found /sys/module/g_ether/ where is parameters folder with text
files dev_addr, host_addrm qmult
No such thing as g_ether.ko driver. Can't find any normal tutorial on
this.

Do I need to do something like insmod g_ether.ko on ubuntu, or maybe
everything already works by default?
Also I poorly understand all these IP, mask & gateway things.

If these are needed:

ifconfig on beagleboard gives:

lo Link encap:Local Loopback
          inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
          inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1

          inet6 addr: fe80::c840:b7ff:fe51:5eae/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1

Sorry if my request seems stupid, but I just need to get board
running, and all tutorials I find by google are mostly for Angstrom.
Thank you.

Only tutorial I have found is this:
Thoughts: Internet over USB-OTG on BeagleBoard using NAT

But this is for Angstrom i think. At least this first part:

once you have logged in, enable g_ether.ko driver by

# cd /lib/modules/2.6.29-omap1/kernel/drivers/usb/gadget/
# insmod g_ether.ko

this.

That module is already built-in, that's why you can't find the *.ko driver...

Do I need to do something like insmod g_ether.ko on ubuntu, or maybe
everything already works by default?

Thank you.

I personally have never used this type of networking setup, but some
users have claimed it's worked..

I usually point people to this tutorial from openmoko on setting up
usb-otg networking..

I have the can not wait illness. I bought USB->ethernet at Radio shack $25
