You need to know what chipset is in your USB Ethernet device.

A cursory search through the ethernet drivers[1] turns up the following
drivers;

aue(4):  ADMtek AN986 Pegasus chipset
axe(4):  ASIX Electronics AX88172 chipset
cue(4):  Computer Access Technology Corporation's USB-EL1210A chipset
kue(4):  Kawasaki LSI KL5KLUSB101B chipset
rue(4):  RealTek RTL8150 chip
udav(4): Davicom DM9601 chipset

As others have said, check your 'dmesg' and 'usbdevs' output if you can
find any of these devices.
