Thanks Martin. The driver version you mentioned is for AX88772C and onwards AFAIK, not AX88179. But I think the issues are the same. The in tree ASIX drivers might not have been updated for ages.

AX88179: http://www.asix.com.tw/FrootAttach/driver/AX88179_178A_LINUX_DRIVER_v1.14.4_SOURCE.zip

Comparing the file ax88179_178a.c from the zip and the one from the kernel, there are huge differences in them.

The last update brought to that file in kernel tree dates back from 2014-10-20.

Btw, I realized there was a community package which brings an up to date version of the driver for my GNU Linux distribution (Arch Linux). Gonna test that one if things changes.
