I saw you wrote a FreeBSD driver for the ASIX AX88172 ethernet/usb 
chipset.
I'm using OS X Panther and would like to be able to enable 
Ethernet-over-USB.
The device I have is a Belkin USB 2.0 Dockstation with an 
Ethernet-to-USB adpater based on the AX88172 chipset.

I'm using some Apple developer USB kexts that have an extension that 
seems to start to load and then disconnects, it's called 
AppleUSBCDCEthernet.kext.
I'm not a programmer, so I'm kinda out of my league, but I think I need 
an extension to enable this completely.
Probably this extension would need to explicitly name my device by 
vendor ID# & Product ID# in the info.plist? (these are0x0B95 & 0x1720)
I assume your FreeBSD driver could be easily ported to OS X, I could 
probably figure out how to do it, but I thought I'd ask you for advice 
since I'm 100% sure you know lots more than I.

Any advice would be appreciated,

Thanks!
