I thought this was about IP connection and not MTP.
(MTP is crappo anyway and I hate its guts)

So, yes, you need to have the IP over USB driver for the android acting as host, true, but that is a piece of cake if host mode is already supported.

If host mode works, then it is just matter of loading up the needed kernel module for the IP connection. (and if it is not available on the device, it is fairly easy to compile yourself, there's no device dependent stuff in it, it is pure protocol module)
