Sorry, it turns out the issue was that I'd disabled my USB ports in the
BIOS. Man I hate it when I miss something simple like that?
Ok, it shows up in lsusb now as follows:
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0b95:7720 ASIX Electronics Corp. AX88772
It doesn't show up in ifconfig though. I just see my built-in Gb NIC
(eth0) and the loopback. What step am I missing now?
