Hi Michael, After a bit of further investigation, I have managed to backport the driver for your device from kernel-3.10 for you. It's called kmod-ax88179_178a and is in the elrepo testing repository for el6. You can find it here: http://elrepo.org/linux/testing/el6/ I would appreciate if you could let me know how it works for you, Hope that helps. I'm not the OP, but I'd like to say thanks. I bought a spare USB dongle with the newer ASIX chipset as an emergency item for my toolkit. Last I tried, the drivers weren't present on a number of distros. Supposedly support was added after 3.2 ML kernel, but I have to wonder (given Debian is at 3.2.x and support was lacking). This rekindled my interest and I'll have to test this all out some evening. Thanks Ned, et al. :-D No problem Mike - it gave me something to do on a wet Sunday afternoon! I'd really appreciate feedback if it works for you. As you will understand, it's not possible to test without access to the physical hardware. On a wider note - this is why the ELRepo project exists. If you have unsupported hardware, just ask (preferably at http://elrepo.org/bugs or on the elrepo mailing list) and we will be happy to investigate if it is possible to backport an updated/newer driver for your hardware. It's what we do :-) ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Hey cool, thanks, using the kernel-ml actually works and gives me a usable ethx device! Ok, proves the concept, but is using a kernel-ml recommended for a production centos6 system? Or should I rather get a different USB 3.0 NIC that actually works with centos6 ? Which one? (Has to be a Gigabit USB NIC) Kind regards Michael ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
