I haven't poked a pi zero yet with the usb ethernet gadget stuff, but I
know the beaglebone side sets up its own dhcp server for the process, as
per this in their getting started docs:

"If connected via USB, a network adapter should show up on your computer.
Your Beagle should be running a DHCP server that will provide your computer
with an IP address of either 192.168.7.1 or 192.168.6.1, depending on the
type of USB network adapter supported by your computer's operating system.
Your Beagle will reserve 192.168.7.2 or 192.168.6.2 for itself."

What IP/subnet are you seeing on the pi and your desktop/laptop it's
connected to for the USB interfaces?
