Bug#587215: kernel module for usb ethernet ax8817x 0b95:1780 not working
Package: linux-image-2.6.32-5-686
Version: 2.6.32-15
When I plug in USB ethernet card the device is recognized by Debian,
and device name (eth2) is assigned.
The link goes up and shows "eth2: link up, 1000Mbps, full-duplex" in dmesg.
But no data can be transferred via the ethernet card makes it useless

Bus 001 Device 006: ID 0b95:1780 ASIX Electronics Corp. AX88178
uname -a
Linux mrnaus 2.6.32-5-686 #1 SMP Tue Jun 1 04:59:47 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
When I download the driver form the manufacturer and compile it
myself, it does work.

modprobe -r asix
untar the archive
make
sudo make install
modprobe asix
plug in the device.
I am not sure if I should report this bug to the kernel package, so please
don't shoot me if I am wrong.
