The thread got too long, so I'd forgotten what you'd meant by 
USB-ethernet. So yes, the thing you're doing works because it's not 
using the internet ethernet that has the firmware issue. I first thought 
you mean something like this  
http://www.cablematters.com/pc-447-101-cable-matters-superspeed-usb-30-to-rj45-gigabit-ethernet-adapter.aspx 
which should also work fine and act as a normal ethernet adapter you can 
just plug into your network, if you don't want to mess with updating the 
firmware on the system to try to get the internal ethernet working.
