Yes, this is possible. When I plug in my Neo FreeRunner into this
FreeeBSD workstation, I get this in /var/log/messages:

This machine is running:
tingo at kg-work2$ uname -a

Lets set up the interface:
root at kg-work2# ifconfig cdce0 inet 192.168.0.200 netmask 255.255.255.0
root at kg-work2# ifconfig cdce0

Ok, try ssh now:
