X-BeenThere: freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: Technical Discussions relating to FreeBSD List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 10 Jan 2005 10:26:22 -0000 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! Kris Tilford - Topeka, Kansas
