The source for usbnet.c, in particular, is at: drivers/net/usb/usbnet.c

Interesting drivers within the USB Networking layer are:

Linux kernel seems to prefer the term "gadget" when referring to USB Device support for devices running Linux.

Support in the Linux kernel for Ethernet over USB networking from the devices end, if the device CPU is running Linux:
