SSH to Ubuntu tablet over USB?

Question

I have a tablet running Ubuntu 9.04 with a USB connection to a host computer. (Ideally the host is running Windows, but if absolutely necessary I could switch the host to be Ubuntu also.)

I want to be able to SSH into the device without RS-232, WiFi, or other network connection. What software combination and setup do I need to make this happen?

Basically, I'd love the be able to have the equivalent of adb shell, but for when the tablet is running pure Ubuntu, not Android.

You need to set up USB networking on the tablet http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/USB_Networking#Debian.2C_Ubuntu_and_others assign ip addresses to the tablet and to your pc from the same private subnet
