I am trying to use d D-Link USB Ethernet with Debian 8.7 running on BBB.
The device describes itself as: "D-Link DUB-1312 USB 3.0 to Gigabit
Ethernet Adapter".
The lsusb output is:
"Bus 001 Device 002: ID 2001:4a00 D-Link Corp."
The driver for this device is ax88179_178a which is loaded into the kernel
as a module.
The driver finds the device:
[ 21.274812] ax88179_178a 1-1:1.0 eth1: register 'ax88179_178a' at
usb-musb-hdrc.1.auto-1, D-Link DUB-1312 USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet
Adapter, e4:6f:13:f3:df:43

ok
[ 24.088282] ax88179_178a 1-1:1.0 enxe46f13f3df43: renamed from eth1
If I manually bring enxe46f13f3df43 up, then I can configure it and get a
working connection to the internet.
I wanted to automatically bring up the device to use DHCP but when I added:
auto enxe46f13f3df43
iface enxe46f13f3df43 inet dhcp
to /etc/network/interfaces the interface was not brought up automatically
(even after reboot)
I tried to statically configured the device with:
auto enxe46f13f3df43
iface enxe46f13f3df43 inet static
address 192.168.1.100
network 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
but the interface also did not come up automatically in this case. It would
come up correctly configured if I manually ran ifup enxe46f13f3df43.
I also tried to change the interface name to eth1 using
/etc/udev/rules.d/71-local-rules
# Auto generated by RootStock-NG: setup_sdcard.sh
# udevadm info -q all -p /sys/class/net/eth0 --attribute-walk
# BeagleBone: net device ()
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", KERNELS=="enxe46f13f3df43",
ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", NAME="eth1"
I also tried to use the systemd.link feature by creating a file called
/etc/systemd/network/10-local.link with these contents:
[Match]
Driver=ax88179_178a
[Link]
Name=eth1
So, there are two problems here:
- the interface is not being configured automatically
- I can't rename the interface with either udevd or systemd.link
configuration
Can anyone help me understand why this isn't working as expected?
