Hello,
I want to get a USB to ethernet adpater to work, but there is no new network interface when its connected…
Linux version is:
root@colibri-imx8x:~# uname -a
Linux colibri-imx8x 5.4.91-5.2.0-devel+git.590db576d04d #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Feb 2 16:38:41 UTC 2021 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux
Usb device is detected:
Bus 003 Device 007: ID 0b95:772b ASIX Electronics Corp. AX88772B
But there is no new interface:
root@colibri-imx8x:~# ifconfig -a

usb-net module seems to be present as I got the following, but I´m not sure if its loaded correctly, as modprobe does not give an output:
root@colibri-imx8x:~# ls /lib/modules/5.4.91-5.2.0-devel+git.590db576d04d/kernel/drivers/net/usb/
cdc_ether.ko rndis_host.ko usbnet.ko
root@colibri-imx8x:~# modprobe usbnet
root@colibri-imx8x:~#
but rmmod succeeds just ones so probably it is loaded:
root@colibri-imx8x:~# rmmod usbnet
root@colibri-imx8x:~# rmmod usbnet
rmmod: ERROR: Module usbnet is not currently loaded
root@colibri-imx8x:~#
Is there another step necessary that I´m missing in order to get the adapter working?
