Currently we do not have plans to add support for cdc ethernet, patches
welcome ;)

What we have if dfu support (device firmware upgrade) which can at least
be used to flash images to the board. We also have regular USB
networking support, so if you have a host interface you could use this.

Adding cdc ethernet support should be doable since barebox uses the
Linux Kernel gadget framework.
