Ah but the Settings app does USB hotspots too

You need this library in order for the connection to work. Then it will show up as a LAN connection.
It may support that, but the tethered hotspot mentioned previously works perfectly well without this library for me on my Mac. When tethered together and hotspot enabled, I can use the iPhone's cellular data with no wifi on the Mac at all.
This library is really targeted toward non Apple systems.
With Linux?
Yes with this library and a companion kernel module it will appear like a standard network interface (connected to the phone acting as a NAT router).
