Wow that's new, avahi secondary network interface.

This has a link-local address only.

| It seems to look like it's connected, but I still can't ping google, the
| AP, or access the internet.

usb0 is up too.

But, the missing info is your routing table

route -n

Will the PC you are connected to act as gateway on the USB Ethernet
connection?  Or is the only way out to the Internet through WLAN?

Can you ping even if you don't try to use DNS?

What network range does the AP subnet use... 192.168.0.x again?
