FYI: Fixed several bugs #1

As this is just a git mirror of the official Asix driver, I want to leave a note here that I've fixed several bugs in my fork: https://github.com/ntonnaett/asix-usb-nic-linux-driver

Before, this driver was unusable for me. It seems without PTP support it works now on Fedora 39 with kernel 6.8.6. My goal is to get the whole PTP stuff working so I can use this for AVB.

Hi @ntonnaett

I started to commit each version that is published by Asix to help with reviewing, so not exactly a mirror. I'm maintaining the driver DKMS package for Arch Linux.

Thanks.

That's great. I've read your last comment. That commit wasn't totally correct. You also need the following. https://github.com/ntonnaett/asix-usb-nic-linux-driver/commit/2c5d4f993550a7c80de6ae9ca708697c7b34f158

I wanted to create an account, but apparently I need to run Arch to do so.

mmoya commented 3 months ago

Anyone can create an account in Arch User Repository (AUR). Building needs Arch for obvious reasons. If you want to try, I recommend distrobox, it's a command away of any other distro. It's what I use whenever I need to do cross-distro compilation.

They have a captcha that tells you to run a command with pacman. Distrobox is a good hint. I see you started to add additional changes to this repo except the official driver. Should I open a PR for my changes?

mmoya commented 2 months ago

@ntonnaett I have been peeking at your changes for learning purposes because PTP is a technology I didn't know about but I don't have enough knowledge/bandwidth to do a meaningful review.

That said, I'll appreciate a PR for fixing the MAC writing oops.

Thanks
