usb to ethernet adapter

Are hardware trojans possible in a embedded controller/chip ?

I recently bought a QHM-8106 model ICS Advent usb 10/100 adapter.
I had lot of trouble getting it to work with linux.

so after some googling on manjaro forums , I installed usb_modeswitch and ran
# echo 'USB_AUTOSUSPEND=0' >> /etc/tlp.d/10-networkfix.conf

The thing seems stable now. But, surprisingly enough a simple ping to google gave this :

Code:[^_^]: ping google.com

^C
I find this highly fishy, 192.168.1.1 is the ip of my router.
thats NOT google.com.
It resolves google.com and pings it correctly for the first 2 counts and then switches to a reply from a chinese domain.

Has anyone had this experience ?
Would appreciate any thoughts or insights.latest?d=yIl2AUoC8zA latest?i=d5LkLpaxMjQ:yB04OOKgLgQ:F7zBnMy latest?i=d5LkLpaxMjQ:yB04OOKgLgQ:V_sGLiP latest?d=qj6IDK7rITs latest?i=d5LkLpaxMjQ:yB04OOKgLgQ:gIN9vFwd5LkLpaxMjQ
