Need some help oh usb net gurus. I have been googleing around and
found lots of different information, but not sure how to pull it all
together. I'm trying to turn a mac mini into a fedora core 6 router
with two nics. I'm seeing emails that say that the chip is now
supported, but i'm still not sure.
The problem seems simple. The usb network device is plugged in. Seems
to be fully recognized by FC6. It is designated as eth1, but no
matter what I do it does not seem like anything is being sent down the
wire. (dhcp requests fail). If I take the ethernet cable and plug it
into the onboard nic (eth0) and service network restart, and it gets a
DHCP response immediately, so it is not the cable.
Any help is greatly apprecated. It could be something silly, but I
have tried to cover all the newbie type stuff...
I'll go ahead and post all the information I have.

I found this link which says the support was added:
http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-usb-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg40447.html
So I checked out my asix.ko files:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] net]# pwd;strings asix.ko |grep 88772
/lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6/kernel/drivers/usb/net
ASIX AX88772 USB 2.0 Ethernet
Just for sanity sake:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] net]# cat /etc/modprobe.conf |grep asix
alias eth1 asix
[EMAIL PROTECTED] net]# lsmod |grep -e asix -e usbnet
asix 21313 0
usbnet 21833 1 asix
mii 9665 1 asix
So long story short, any advice would be very helpful to me...
Thanks!
