I am not surprised.

Many drivers have not been written to work with enabled caches.

As far as USB is concerned, you might be lucky that your system usies
a EHCI controller, so setting CONFIG_EHCI_DCACHE should help.

As for the network driver, you will probably have to figure out
yourself how to fix that.

Patches welcome.

Best regards,
