nic-usb-modules should include asix

[Thierry Carrez]

Modern USB NIC adapters (USB2.0 / Gb networking) mostly use the asix chipset. In order to support them in the installer, we need to have the asix minimodule enabled. It's currently missing from the list in nic-usb-modules.

Example device currently not supported:
Trendnet TU2-ETG USB to Gigabit Ethernet adapter
0b95:1780 ASIX Electronics Corp. AX88178

Double-checked with Colin:
<cjwatson> ttx: asix> ask the kernel team to add it to nic-usb-modules - it seems perfectly reasonable to me, but I'd just be proxying your request through to the kernel team anyway :)

Hi Thierry,

Just want to double check you need this for Lucid correct?

[Thierry Carrez (ttx)]

Hey Leann, yes this would just be needed for Lucid (and going forward).

[Leann Ogasawara (leannogasawara)]

Hi Thierry,

I've submitted a patch to the kernel-team ml. Thanks.

Hi, just want to ask, it would be much hard work, to support this devices in Karmic, next kernel release?

Bus 001 Device 005: ID 1737:0039 Linksys USB1000

i think, this is same device, with same driver ( just think, looks like if i see the MS driver what is created for this devices)

[Manufacturer]

%ASIX% = USB

[ControlFlags]

ExcludeFromSelect = USB\VID_0B95&PID_1780

ExcludeFromSelect = USB\VID_1737&PID_0039 ;Linksys

[USB]

%AX88178.DeviceDesc% = AX88178.Ndi,USB\VID_0B95&PID_1780

%AX88178L.DeviceDesc% = AX88178.Ndi,USB\VID_1737&PID_0039 ;Linksys

and asix's driver dont work for it.... Thanks for any answer...

Sabrent AX88178 still not working in 11.04 Kernal 2.6.38-7 generic 64Bit should this be working by now or just wait?
