I have an embedded device running busybox on an ARM 7 processor. How would I go about using a USB -> Ethernet adapter for network connectivity? Currently I only have a serial console.

The system sees the USB device with lsusb, but nothing shows up in ifconfig. I suspect the drivers aren't loaded.

What is the easiest way to get this working?

Use lsusb get the device id, e.g. 138a:0017. Then look up the Linux drivers that support that device id for your architecture. Follow the instructions with said drivers. Reboot.
