the lack of usb nic is because the xenial image does not have a "full kernel" inside it . 14.04 maas images had linux-generic installed. So if you were commissioning with hwe-t (ie, you had no need for a newer hwe kernel) then your commissioning would get all the drivers in linux- generic at its disposal.
We can add drivers/net/usb to the boot-intird and we'd have more drivers at the disposal. Can you try using this attached 'boot-kernel' and 'boot-initrd' ? To do that, on the maas server: kdir=/var/lib/maas/boot-resources/current/ubuntu/amd64/hwe-x/xenial/daily for x in boot-initrd boot-kernel; do [ -f "$kdir/$x.dist" ] || cp "$kdir/$x" "$kdir/$x.dist" done tar -C $kdir -xf test-kernel.txz then restart maas cluster controller and try commission again.

Note: When loading 16.04 desktop onto node0 (control node), all the cores are seen and both secondary and tertiary usb network dongles are seen by the system.
