Hey cool, thanks, using the kernel-ml actually works and gives me a 
usable ethx device!
Ok, proves the concept, but is using a kernel-ml recommended for a 
production centos6 system?
Or should I rather get a different USB 3.0 NIC that actually works with 
centos6 ? Which one? (Has to be a Gigabit USB NIC)
Kind regards
Michael
