Importance: High
Dear All,
I did some basic network functionality of this driver patch on Linux kernel 3.3.0-rc3 x86 platform with below ASIX USB to LAN dongles and it seems this driver patch works fine in our site. You can refer to the driver log files in attached driver package for more details if necessary. Thanks a lot.

Dear Grant and All,
We are going to do some testing on the revised asix.c driver with ASIX's different USB to LAN solutions (AX88178/AX88772B/AX88772A/AX88772). Please advise where can I download the latest revised asix.c driver source with this driver patch for further testing? (Sorry I am newbie on Linux kernel driver patch threads. =_="") Thanks a lot.

Your rewrite is definitely cleaner/simpler. If it works, ship it! :)
I'm traveling right now and don't have access to the HW to test it.
I'm hoping that ASIX could run a few simple tests as well.
