have you considered using a 2.4 series kernel? usb networking has recently had some updates in the 2.4 series.
I'm slightly (only slightly) reluctant to go to 2.4.x, because it will involve upgrading my boot-loader to something other than the version in Debian stable (see Debian bugs #142421 and #163098.) I've had bad experiences before with mixing more recent bits and bobs into stable, although I think it would almost certainly be alright in this case.
I presume that you are using loadlin from those bugs, could you not use a bootloader like grub or lilo? Then you can use things that are part of Debian stable and not have to mix and match from testing/unstable although I would build a kpkg kernel using 2.4.21 kernel source (as that seems to fix many usb networking bugs for me, although YMMV) and just replace the bootloader (if you can)
