One important thing to bear in mind, no one here seems to know the
answer to your question (perhaps because we don't really know what your
question is). The right, free-open-source choice here is to face and
slay the dragon yourself, and then report back.
Dragon not slain, wounded only.

That said, consider the following questions as you begin your quest:
You say "networking". Can you define what you mean by that word?
A LAN with only two computers at a time.
You say "USB Master-USB Master" cable. Which one?
I didn't buy online but from local computer store.
This page describes what I bought.

And, what is your goal in this "networking"?
It started as file sharing. I was using "sneaker net" with flash drives.
When I found that standard Linux can use utilities originally aimed at
Ethernet for this hardware, the purpose became educational.
Philosophically very similar to motivation of _Linux from Scratch_
without "compile, link, load", but targeting networks.
