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.
