Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.17-10-generic
In Dapper my usb ethernet adapter worked out-of-the-box. After upgrading
to Edgy RC it didn't. Booting into the last Dapper kernel
(2.6.15-27-686) fixes the issue.
The device uses the pegasus driver. In 2.6.15-27-686 connecting the device
makes this appear in syslog (and everything Just Works):

achieves this:
