Thanks for the report. To be sure the issue doesn't fall through the
cracks unnoticed, I'm adding it to regzbot, the Linux kernel regression
tracking bot:

#regzbot ^introduced f49449fbc21e
#regzbot title usb: gadget: u_ether: network gadgets don't work
#regzbot fix: usb: gadget: u_ether: Re-attach netif device to mirror
detachment
#regzbot ignore-activity

Ciao, Thorsten (wearing his 'the Linux kernel's regression tracker' hat)
