Title says it all...

Not that it's terribly important, I'm just curious. 99% of the time I'm having the device connected with USB network on, and it just keeps discharging. Is there any technical reason for this, or is this just some kind of bug (or rather: "non-feature") in the kernel module or whatever else is responsible for the usbnetwork stuff, maybe even the hardware itself?

EDIT: Weird. Now it's charging even though it is in network mode. So maybe I'll change the question to: "Why is charging behavior in USB network mode nondeterministic?"
