Mmm... you mean that you reconnected the usb ethernet card attached to Debian host and it wasn't even able to (re)detect it? That's weird, udev should have reacted. Did you try by attaching it into a different usb port? :-? Also, from the host you can run "dmesg" and "lsusb" to see what's going on and check for the current network status with "/sbin/ifconfig". It is primordial that the host sees the adapter and properly configures it, otherwise the guest will have problems to manage it.
