Bug Description

Modern USB NIC adapters (USB2.0 / Gb networking) mostly use the asix chipset. In order to support them in the installer, we need to have the asix minimodule enabled. It's currently missing from the list in nic-usb-modules.

Example device currently not supported:
Trendnet TU2-ETG USB to Gigabit Ethernet adapter
0b95:1780 ASIX Electronics Corp. AX88178

Double-checked with Colin:
<cjwatson> ttx: asix> ask the kernel team to add it to nic-usb-modules - it seems perfectly reasonable to me, but I'd just be proxying your request through to the kernel team anyway :)

Hi Thierry,

Just want to double check you need this for Lucid correct?

Hi, just want to ask, it would be much hard work, to support this devices in Karmic, next kernel release?

Bus 001 Device 005: ID 1737:0039 Linksys USB1000

i think, this is same device, with same driver ( just think, looks like if i see the MS driver what is created for this devices)

[Manufacturer]

%ASIX% = USB

[ControlFlags]

ExcludeFromSelect = USB\VID_0B95&PID_1780

ExcludeFromSelect = USB\VID_1737&PID_0039 ;Linksys

[USB]

%AX88178.DeviceDesc% = AX88178.Ndi,USB\VID_0B95&PID_1780

%AX88178L.DeviceDesc% = AX88178.Ndi,USB\VID_1737&PID_0039 ;Linksys

and asix's driver dont work for it.... Thanks for any answer...
