Simon, Since I also performed testing on the previous patchset, I'll share what I did. I configured Network Manager to use the TBT interface to share an internet connection to another box. This configures a static IP address on the local Linux side and sets up routing. Network manager remembers setup this in a configuration database. When the interface goes up it will then set up a DHCP server to hand out an IP address to the other side.
