I got a new USB ethernet adapter from ebay, the ad said RealTek chipset, so I thought I would chance it. Well, my 5.2 system does not recognize the USB device. At all. What do I need to do? I checked the driver CD and the XP driver directory's .inf file has the following: ; ASIX AX88172 USB2 to Fast Ethernet Adapter * ; * ; Copyright 2001-2003,

Hi All, 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
