ELRepo does have a kmod-asix driver for el6, but it was backported from
kernel-3.2 and does not support this device.
This is a newer USB3 device, and support was only added to the asix
driver in kernel-3.10. Unfortunately it's not trivial for me to backport
that driver from kernel-3.10 to el6 so you would need to use a kernel >=
3.10.
Alternatively, I might be able to build you a standalone driver
supporting only that device if you are able to test. If so, please file
an RFE requesting the driver at http://elrepo.org/bugs
