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.
I must say that I would find it highly amusing if it were discovered
that said "Transfer-Cable" were to contain two USB to Ethernet adapters
wired together. That wart in the middle is certainly big enough for
that to be the case.
One of the references {which???} said it was based on the USB-serial
product.
Please post the output from the lsusb command after connecting the cable.
Done. See my reply to Russell.
