TonyV mentions that, to enable automatic usb networking, you have to put this at end of /usr/local/Kobo/udev/ac and /usr/local/Kobo/udev/plug:

ifconfig usb0 192.168.2.2

I found that I needed to add the line:

/sbin/route add default gw 192.168.2.1 usb0

to enable networking from the Kobo mini out to the open internet.

On the pc side, in /etc/networking, the usb0 stanza reads as follows:

allow-hotplug usb0
iface usb0 inet static
address 192.168.2.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.2.0
broadcast 192.168.2.255
up iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -j MASQUERADE -s 192.168.2.0/24
up sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
up route add -host 192.168.2.2 usb0
down iptables -D POSTROUTING -t nat -j MASQUERADE -s 192.168.2.0/24
