trying to get a Davicom DM9601 USB Ethernet adapter to work with Fedora 17. The driver keeps turning the carrier off on the device. Anyone know a fix for this or am I better off getting a better one. If I need to get a better one what cheapies on Ebay are known to work? This is for a dell laptop to connect to a adsl modem and the on board network card will connect to the local network switch. The laptop will be the local server and run off solar power. Below is a cut from the messages file. Thanks Gary.
