This is a commonly encountered problem. Here's what I wrote about it
a few weeks ago.

This is a known issue in current releases of Mac OS X (Radar ID
2606181). The implementation of IOEthernetController/DLIL do not
correctly work together to disentangle the Ethernet device's ifnet
structure from the BSD parts of the system. Thus unplugging an
Ethernet device causes no end of problems further down the line.
I know a number of other developers have hit this problem, some of
whom have worked the issue through with DTS. However, I didn't take
those incidents so I'm not intimately familiar with the problem, nor
do I know any details as to a possible workaround. I will do some
more digging.

AFAIK there is no workaround for this. I talked with the DTS
engineer who worked this issue through for another USB Ethernet
developer, and their final conclusion was to document the problem to
end users and wait for Apple to fix IOEthernetController.
We're hoping to get this fixed for Jaguar, but I can't make any guarantees.
