I think a better place for this would be in usbnet_probe() (together
with all the other dev->xxx initialization). I'm not quite sure how
that could cause the transfer problems you are seeing, but at least
you will no longer initialize the waitqueue multiple times on multiple
usbnet_open (which is probably a bad idea).
