I'm not the OP, but I'd like to say thanks.
I bought a spare USB dongle with the newer ASIX chipset as an "emergency"
item for my toolkit.
Last I tried, the drivers weren't present on a number of distros.
Supposedly support was added after 3.2 ML kernel, but I have to wonder
(given Debian is at 3.2.x and support was lacking).
This rekindled my interest and I'll have to test this all out some evening.
Thanks Ned, et al.
:-D
