Investigating further, there's a weird behaviour. I tried to do a
tdpdump to determine if there's any packets getting through the usbnet,
when I did that, the adapter starts behaving and I'm able to ping and
also able to transfer large amounts of files w/ no problem (with good
speed too).

Any ideas?
