I am trying to use a D-Link DUB-E100 usb to Ethernet adapter. It uses the ASIX 8817X chipset. I have Ubuntu 12.04 kernel 3.2.0-39. The driver supplied with the adapter did not compile. I downloaded an ASIX driver ver 4.6.0. It compiled and I loaded the module. The lsusb command rerurns the following:
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

Bus 006 Device 002: ID 13ba:0017 Unknown PS/2 Keyboard+Mouse Adapter
Bus 007 Device 002: ID 046d:c52a Logitech, Inc.
Ifconfig does not report the adapter.
lshw -C network does not report the adapter.
Please help.

I don't know if you still need it but I had the same problem with kernel 3.2.30. I recompiled the asix drivers 4.6.0 and loaded the modules asix, usbnet and cdc_ether and it works perfectly.
