Hi Christian!
Seems like there are two problems here:
1) The USB output is telling you this device is a AX88179A : the
changes most likely should be in ax88179_178a.c using the
ax881798_info:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/drivers/net/usb/ax88179_178a.c#L1690
2) What Andrew Lunn said. I'll add the asix driver should not be
probing (or claiming) this device - or at least be quiet about it when
it does.
Thanks for looking into this!
cheers,
