I realize this is part learning experience for you, but I don't think
you necessarily need to be exploring the bowels of the sysfs
(/sys/...) for this. Please post the output of the 'ip addr' command
on both ends. You may already have a working connection between the
two machines.

Oops. I meant to send that to the plug list. Please reply on the list.
This is ~ 1/2 of what you requested
I ran this on my laptop with only cable connected
The relevant lines begins "57:"
root@debian-jan13:/home/richard# ip addr

This was run on my laptop with nothing but mouse and cable connected.
I do not have a flash drive available to report what the desktop saw
{via sneaker net}
To create context I will quote your post saying:>>> I realize this is
part learning experience for you, ...
This project originally started in order to transfer files between a
laptop and a desktop without benefit of flash_drive &/or sneaker_net.
I purchased a thingy which claimed to do that in a WindoZe environment.
Can Linux not outperform Gates & co?
An underlying question is "Why *NOT*"?
There is an underlying comment.
Debian (Linux in general) has known what to do with absolutely *ANY* USB
device used. Why *NOT* this item? ?? ??? ???? :<
I cannot see that the "system" lacks info.
It needs to be told what to do with it.
P.S. I was dealing with "customer"/"tech" support half century ago.
*NOT* same industry ;/ But you learn what are useful questions.
I'm missing something ;/
