AX88179 can't get network

[Bib]

Hi
I got a trendnet GB Ethernet / USB3 TU3-ETG HW v1.0R for my Dell XPS13 developer edition (i7-3537U ie Ivy Bridge) and I can't connect the network GB switch.
I read it is already in the ubuntu but it doesn't work

Hi Joseph. I just tried kernel 3.16rc3. Still won't get network. Tag updated with "kernel-bug-exists-upstream".
Thank you for guidance.

[Bib (bybeu)]

My shame: I found very strange I couldn't get ipv4 from dhcp (nor connect by changing "Auto Ethernet" connection to manual settings) but at the same moment dmesg showed the link was up so I tried ping, didn't work for sure because....pfff don't know why... then tried arp-scan -I Eth1 --localnet .... error, then arp-scan -I Eth1192.168.0.0/24 which replied with all my network devices.... then I discovered the said "Auto Ethernet" connection "Ethernet" tab had the MAC field set to the previous USB/Eth Realtek I used before.
Everything seems ok, both in current kernel and mainstream. Tags updated.
So:
My shame. Sorry for the noise.
