Public bug reported: I have an USB-Ethernet dongle ASIX AX88772 USB 2.0 Ethernet, which uses the asix.ko module. I just updated from Ubuntu 16.04 to 16.10 then 17.04. When I updated to 17.04 it just stopped initializing the dongle; in ethtool and mii-tool it shows no link detected, although it is connected and works in dual-booted Windows. I ruled out networkmanager idiosyncrasies of "managed" and "not managed" because I configured it both ways and tried also with ifupdown and directly with ifconfig up and dhclient. And then I changed the model to another ethernet USB adapter and it worked.
This is the dmesg entry for the ASIX adapter: [ 31.137223] usb 1-6: New USB device found, idVendor=0b95, idProduct=772a [ 31.137225] usb 1-6: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [ 31.137226] usb 1-6: Product: AX88x72A [ 31.137227] usb 1-6: Manufacturer: ASIX Elec. Corp. [ 31.137228] usb 1-6: SerialNumber: 000002 Model no: KY-AX88772ALF on the side of the device. I am currently reporting this bug without the adapter connected, because I would have no network. So if you need additional data from it just say what you need, I am using Ubuntu 17.04 64 bits. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: ethernet usb -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1688081 Title: USb-Ethernet ASIX A88772 stops working after kernel 4.10 Status in linux package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I have an USB-Ethernet dongle ASIX AX88772 USB 2.0 Ethernet, which uses the asix.ko module.
