USB ethernet ure0 not working

[ofthecentury]

I'm stumped. Pls help.
I plug a TPLink USB ethernet dongle in, it
is identified by OpenBSD, and I get a ure0
interface. It says ure0 is up and running. I
give it the ip address, default route, but
nothing happens, I don't get connectivity.
I do everything the same for the USB dongle
as for the inbuilt ethernet (which works fine).
Dmesg says some additional interface rlphy0
is added or something, but the only interface
I see in ifconfig is ure0. `route show` gives
nothing.
