Thisfixed it for me. I upgraded to Sierra and my USB 3.0 + Gigabit device stopped working. I tried reinstalling the drivers from Unitek with no luck. Once I installed the drivers from =pItemdetail&PItemID=131;71;112 then it worked. I haven't run diagnostics to see if it is getting appropriate speeds or anything of that nature, but it seems fine so far.

No, it could not be done by end users. To install AX88179 Linux driver on your Android tablet PC, you have to recompile AX88179 Linux driver source on your target Android tablet platform and then you can install the compiled AX88179 Linux driver on your Android platform. It can only be done by the manufacturer of your Android tablet PC. Please contact the support guys of your Android platform manufacturer for further support if necessary.


You can open the PowerPCB PCB layout file of AX88179 demo board by running Mentor Graphics PADS Layout Product Evaluation Software (No time limitation but with limited function). Please visit Mentor Graphics' web site for more details.


No, the AX88179 already supports available device drivers for most of operating systems such as Windows 10/8.x/7, Linux, Mac OSX, WinCE/Mobile, etc. Please visit AX88179 Driver Download web page for details. For some special OS supporting requirements, please contact ASIX's sales (sa...@asix.com.tw) for further support.


The AX88179 supports a 64-byte eFuse that is a one-time programming ROM for an alternate solution to store the required hardware configuration data in production. We strongly suggest customers to reserve the EEPROM location on AX88179 PCB board for flexible designs even if you plan to use the AX88179 eFuse for hardware configuration. Please refer to AX88179 EEPROM User Guide for details.


AX88179 supports some default settings inside chip hardware to enable it to communicate with USB host controller during enumeration when the AX88179 EEPROM is blank (prior to being programmed). The default settings inside chip facilitate users to update the EEPROM contents through a Windows PC during R&D validation process or program a blank EEPROM or eFuse during manufacturing process.



ASIX Electronics provides Windows/Linux SROM programming tools for users to easily program AX88179 EEPROM or eFuse on a typical Windows/Linux platforms. These AX88179 SROM programming tools support to customize the MAC address, Serial Number, Vendor ID and Product ID, etc. for AX88179 based application systems in mass production.



Alternatively, users can pre-program the blank EEPROM on a 3rd Party Universal Programmer before soldering the EEPROM onto the AX88179 application device. You MUST assign a unique MAC address in the EEPROM for every AX88179 device.



Please refer to AX88179 EEPROM User Guide for more detailed EEPROM/eFuse design notes.


The answers to above questions really depend on user's product applications and target market, which can be different on individual cases. Below gives customers some general guidelines about whether one can use ASIX's VID/PID or one should better register its own one with USB-IF.



1.Case where it is OK to use ASIX Electronics's VID (0B95h) and PID (1790h):



You may be able to use ASIX Electronics' VID and PID when your AX88179 based application system can simply work with AX88179 standard drivers provided by ASIX without any modification and you don't have any concern from business and product marketing perspective to use the same VID and PID on your products as ASIX's other customers who are also using ASIX's VID and PID. ASIX Electronics would like to request customers to inform ASIX sales staffs by sending us email at sa...@asix.com.tw beforehand if you would like to use ASIX Electronics VID and PID for your products.



2.Cases requiring you to use your own VID and PID



(1) Your AX88179 based application systems can't work directly with AX88179 standard drivers which ASIX Electronics release on its web site and your target application system (such as USB dongle or docking station) may allow your end customers to update the standalone AX88179 driver by themselves after sales. In that case, you MUST assign your own unique VID and PID for your AX88179 based devices.



(2) For brand name products, you probably don't want your AX88179 based devices to become compatible with other company's AX88179 based devices. In this case, you should consider assigning your own unique VID and PID for your AX88179 based devices.



You can register your own VID from USB Implementers Forum, Inc. and define the PID based on your company rules.


You must first have an OUI or an IAB, to which you then append 24 or 12 bits respectively, in a way that makes the resulting 48-bit number unique, i.e., your 24 or 12 bits must be unique within your organization, which will require coordination among all the users of your organization's OUI or IAB. Please visit the IEEE-SA web site for details.


No, it depends on the real requirement of your AX88179 target application. If users need to install more than one AX88179 based devices on your target application, you should assign a different serial number in the EEPROM for every AX88179 device.



If your target application always uses one AX88179 device, you can consider assigning the same serial number in the EEPROM for every AX88179 device for easy maintenance in mass production, especially if you plan to use a Windows PC to test AX88179 based devices repeatedly during mass production test.


I already had the modified USB drivers installed and added this one to /lib/modules/ and ran the insmod commands. However, my interface just not show up in either in the web console or in the terminal when I use the ifconfig command.


I looked at a number of web pages but they seem to want you to run lsusb or edit /etc/network/interfaces, neither of which exist on the DSM. On the other hand, I did learn that I should run "ifconfig -a" to see all interfaces and the USB NIC does show up there.


Did you have any success with the instructions to make the config persistent through reboots? This version of Linux does not seem to have the /etc/networking/ and /etc/init.d/ directories. I'm also wondering how the two insmod commands will get executed through the reboot.


2). I also get The operation failed. Please log in to DSM again and retry. (221) error when trying to open Control Panel / Networking in the DSM. I guess this is one reason the real Synology box is so expensive. Support is included!


Done everything in this thread to get this driver working with DSM 5.1 (5022.2) and it works uptil the point I do 'ifconfig eth1 up' at which point the Xpenology reboots as soon as I issue the command.


As a side note, my Intel AX210 wifi did not work on initial installation of PoP!_OS so I installed the drivers recommended as a work-around and had to reinstall after an update with a new kernel version. A second update broke connectivity again but the fix was to remove the work-around as the built-in driver worked at that point and has since.


As the issue still persists uninstall perform a clean installation one more time and instead of installing the latest Intel graphics driver, install the recommended drivers from MSI (both Intel Graphics driver 30.0.101.1029 and NVidia driver 511.65). There are two different types of drivers, generics provided by Intel and Equipment Manufacturer drivers, that are customized to work with each specific system. The best thing to do is to use the drivers provided by the system manufacturer (OEM).


Updated to the older Nvidia drivers as suggested and colours on laptop monitor still washed out. Unless I disable the Intel Iris XE display driver. Then colours are great, but this is using the basic MS built in display driver.


Based on the information gathered by the SSU report, the current BIOS seems to be from 01/04/2022, and the latest from the OEM website is 17/11/2022 You should MSI Support directly to confirm if the latest BIOS version is installed on your machine or, if necessary, to gather the instructions on how to update it.


This doesn't seem to be a driver issue as it happens with different versions, HDR is not enabled which doesn't seem to be the cause, we recommend checking with the laptop Manufacturer (OEM) for additional recommendations.


But the issue is that even if it's turned off, it still gets enabled automatically after every Window update. And when that happens, I have to open the command center, go to the 'system' (in the sidebar), then toggle 'Display Power Savings' on and then back to off to get back all the colours.

Just thought everyone here would be interested. I got a M1 Max 16" Macbook Pro when they were launched. Although at home I mostly use WiFi I got a Gigabit Ethernet adapter just in case. It's always useful to have one around, especially nowadays when you might need to use Dante or other Ethernet audio transport.
