I bought a microPC that only has one NIC and no expansion slots, so I am trying to use a USB3.0 to Ethernet adapter.
Is that possible?
lsusb shows the device as NEC Corp High Speed Hub on USB 7-3
dmesg | grep "usb 7-3" returns the following:
new high-speed USB device number 2 using ehci-pci
New USB device found, idVendor=0b95, idProduct=1790
New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
Product: AX88179
Manufacturer: ASIX Elec. Corp
SerialNumber: 000050B611B946
I am pretty sure this is the device I need, as when I unplug it, the NEC device disappears from the list.
It seems like it detects the device, but I don't know how to add it.
Thanks for your help,
Steven Parker
