Q: How to make the Neo FreeRunner act as a mass storage device (memory stick, USB key, portable drive...)

A: The following script can be used 

#!/bin/sh                                                                                                                                                                   
ifdown usb0
rmmod g_ether
modprobe g_file_storage file=/dev/mmcblk0p1

Q: Is it possible to pretend to be a USB hub, providing both g_ether and g_file_storage ?

A: Not yet. At the moment it's one gadget driver at a time, but there is a project under way to allow use of multiple gadget drivers together.
