(Sorry, 9fans, for all the emails)
4d5a9000,
Regarding your card.. this has happened occasionally, I find that
replugging the adapter itself usually does the trick, with the
addition that on my desktop, the first ethernet card (ether0) takes
precedence, so I will have to get an ip for the usb adapter
specifically:
ip/ipconfig ether /net/etherUxxxxx
(Assuming it's not actually a defective chip)
Best,
Aidan

Hi James,
I bought one USB Ethernet adapter with that chip, and it somewhat get
recognized. On boot this showed up:
nusb/ether: a179linkup: no link
nusb/ether: a88179 init failed:
It seems that the one I got is defective. I tested the card on a Windows
machine, and Windows also says "Network cable unplugged", although I'm sure I
plugged the cable in, connected to a router.
Here's the result of usbtree:
ep15.0: 255 csp 0x00ffff vid 0x0b95 did 0x1790 'ASIX Elec. Corp.' AX88179
118ae xhci
I'll try to get another one and see if that works.
Thanks,
4d5a9000
