It doesn't work for me, I have pretty much no idea how to do this. Can anyone please post step by step instructions for me?

What I did so far:

I have found a file called "ax88179_178a.ko" in "/lib/modules/3.13.0-74-generic/kernel/drivers/net" as well as in "/lib/modules/3.19.0-31-generic/kernel/drivers/net". I tried patching each of them with:

patch "ax88179_178a.ko" < "0001-AX88179_178A-Add-VID-DID-for-Lenovo-OneLinkDock-Giga.patch"

which returned in both cases:

patching file ax88179_178a.ko
Hunk #1 FAILED at 1418.
Hunk #2 FAILED at 1435.
2 out of 2 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file ax88179_178a.ko.rej

So my questions are:

1. What am I doing wrong?
2. "3.13.0-74-generic" and "3.19.0-31-generic" seem to be better than "3.13.0-18-generic", should the ethernet therefore work out of the box and I don't need to patch this? If so, I probably have another problem with my ethernet and would be grateful if someone can help me.
