Confirmed: I don't get an error code in ifconfig, nor in dmesg. Let me know if you need more testing. # modprobe asix # ifconfig eth1 | grep -i hwaddr eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:06:4F:0B:68:46 # ifconfig eth1 hw ether DE:AD:BE:EF:00:00 # ifconfig eth1 | grep -i hwaddr eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr DE:AD:BE:EF:00:00 # dmesg | tail PM: Adding info for No Bus:usbdev1.4_ep02 PM: Adding info for No Bus:usbdev1.4_ep83 PM: Removing info for No Bus:usbdev1.4_ep81 PM: Removing info for No Bus:usbdev1.4_ep02 PM: Removing info for No Bus:usbdev1.4_ep83 PM: Adding info for No Bus:usbdev1.4_ep81 PM: Adding info for No Bus:usbdev1.4_ep02 PM: Adding info for No Bus:usbdev1.4_ep83 eth1: register 'asix' at usb-0001:10:1b.2-2, ASIX AX8817x USB 2.0 Ethernet, 00:06:4f:0b:68:46 usbcore: registered new interface driver asix # mii-tool eth1 eth1: negotiated 100baseTx-FD flow-control, link ok ciao, -- Giuliano ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
