Bug Description
After updating a natty system to precise beta-1, the asix USB ethernet device began flooding console and kernel log with messages:
[68246.610332] asix 1-5:1.0: eth1: asix_rx_fixup() Bad RX Length 1416
ifconfig showed RX errors incrementing as traffic passed through the interface, and throughput dwindled as low as 100Kb/s on a 100Mb network.
Compiling the vendor's driver seems to remedy this. It seems there is a history of bugs related to this specific driver since 2.6.36 -- see https:/
