It sends highly processed(/extracted) data to a device driver running on 
the PC. Just like an ethernet adapter on a PC-card would. If it were in 
any sense still "ethernet" data, there would have to be an "ethernet 
card" inside the PC on the 'inside end' of the USB. And there isn't.

(Apart from anything else, the ethernet cable might running at up to 
100MBps, and the USB at perhaps a tenth of that on a good day).
