Just wondering if anyone has had the occasion to use one of these for
usb networking with Centos 6.2. Did it work out of the box? Any
recommendations? It uses the ax88178 chipset and is a gigabit usb
network adaptor.
Thanks a bunch, in advance for your time.
Phil

it says you can download Linux driver for 2.6.9-2.6.13 kernel. I guess
it should be in kernel...
And there are this drivers:

According to reviews on this web page, it may require kernel source to
compile necessary driver, but it does work. Fedora 15 is supposed to
have drivers included, but don't know about Centos 6.2.

CentOSPlus kernel should have it enabled. If not, then you can always
ask ElRepo for help in compiling the kmod- package.
It would be good is DeviceID would be available.

I can't speak to the actual USB device mentioned, but I bought a
couple of Startech PCIe gigabit cards a few months back to add
an extra set of interfaces on a pacemaker cluster and those cards
turned out to be absolute crap. They would tend to go numb at
random times and eventually require a server restart to recover.
Instead of increasing uptime they drastically decreased it.
They got ripped out *very* quickly.
It kind of soured me on startech NICs.
