Bug Description

my Apple USB ethernet adapter for the Macbook Air is not recognized on hardy,
looking on the net i've found that it uses asix module but need a little patch on asix.c :

i've tried to recompile my kernel but could not succeed, maybe is it possible to make some deb's packages for this module? i'm currently on hardy i386 with kernel 2.6.24-17-generic

Hi all,

There is a workaround that it was success for me even though in other x86 laptops:

Kernel 2.6.24-19-generic, download patched asix driver (http://web.comhem.se/rydberg/Bits/patasix19.zip)

    * Copy the file named patasix.ko to you linux kernel tree at /lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/kernel/drivers/net/usb/
    * Run depmod -a as root
    * add the modules usbnet and patasix to your /etc/modules, in that order
    * reboot

I hope this helps
