I would first guess this is simply the "ifconfig" to set Freerunner-side
IP getting messed with.  I really did not see flakiness of Ethernet over
USB and I understood there is new scheme for managing IP allocation in
this new rootfs.  If anyone with a debug board sees this behaviour, just
logging in on the debug serial console and doing ifconfig usb0 / route
- -n would clear it up if it is that.
