"I have a Gigaware USB to Ethernet dongle, ubuntu 14.10, and a lenovo miix
2 11.6 slate. I would be happy if it showed up in ifconfig as an eth0
device but plugging it in does nothing.
...
[ 7449.876532] usb 2-3.1: New USB device found, idVendor=0fe6,
idProduct=9702
[ 7449.876538] usb 2-3.1: New USB device strings: Mfr=0, Product=2,
SerialNumber=3
[ 7449.876541] usb 2-3.1: Product: USB 2.0 10/100M Ethernet Adaptor
[ 7449.876544] usb 2-3.1: SerialNumber: 00002550"

Suggests that even if we "flip" this device with usb_modeswitch
to "ethernet mode", we won't have a linux device driver that can talk to it
(dm9601 currently only talks to 0x9700, not 0x9702).

One could try adding 0x9702 to dm9601 (dynamically via /sys) to see if
dm9601 works, but it's not worth my time.
