I saw the same behavior and accidently found a workaround which may help. I was testing wireless drivers on the BBB at the time.
I run my BBB attached to a powered USB hub which is plugged into the host PC running either Windows 7 or 10; or Ubuntu Linux 14.04.3. Delian 8.2 is running dnsmasq out of the box, so it will offer DHCP leases over USB on 192.168.7.x. Adding a DHCP entry to /etc/network/interfaces for the device USB0, gives me a functional network connection to the BBB. Doing the equivalent reliably in Windows is more difficult so I refer you to <https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh831538.aspx> https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh831538.aspx. I was able to get it to work by turning off all other network devices and broadcasting for a DHCP lease. I’m not involved enough with the beagleboard project to know whether this is by design or a happy accident, but I hopefully someone else can fill in the blanks.
