Hello Everyone,
I've been searching the interwebs for the last few days trying to find out where I download a compiled driver, or a way to compile my own for my Acer a500 tablet.
Here's my specs:
Tablet:
Model: A500 (rooted)
Android: 4.0.3(ICS)
Kernel: 2.6.39.4+
USB Ethernet Adapter:
Model: Trendnet TU2-ET100
Chipset: ASIX AX88772
Driver: v4.4 (Android 1,2,3,4)
I have found LOADS of compiled drivers for Android 3.2.x, but nothing for 4.0.x This is my first tablet and I just bought it yesterday, so I'm trying to learn as much as I can about it, please forgive me if I seem noobish here, i am.. I have already downloaded the latest ASIX driver (v4.4) from the chipset manufacturer, but when I try to compile it with the "make command" I get a return that it is not a recognized command.
I have also read multiple times that the Android OS already has ASIX drivers embedded, however when I plug my adapter into the USB slot I do not see any lights illuminate. I attempted to provide the adapter with dhcp in terminal, using;
Code:
dhcpcd eth0
setprop net.dns1 8.8.8.8
setprop net.dns2 8.8.4.4
I don't get any error messages, but nothing is happening either.
I decided to check the device after plugging it in by using dmesg, it reported the following:
Code:
usb 1-1: new high speed USB device number 5 using tegra-ehci
usb 1-1: New USB device found, idVendor=0b95, idProduct=7720
usb 1-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
usb 1-1: Product: AX88x72A
usb 1-1: Manufacturer: ASIX Elec. Corp.
usb 1-1: SerialNumber: 0BAA93
What do I need to do to get this USB Adapter to work?

Just updating this.
After spending the amount of time I did trying to find a solution. I ended up giving up and rolling back my a500 to Android 3.2.1 Now using the appropriate asix.ko driver for my kernal the external usb adapter works perfectly. I guess I will just have to hold off on upgrading to ICS until its had the chance to be in the market for a bit longer.

I just found a way to do this for the Samsung Galaxy S3, documented here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37548841#post37548841
Hope that helps point you in the right direction...

Hi,
I'm on CM7.2 last RC.
I'm not able to get usb tether to work, I tried with many different kernels.
In logcat seems to be everything ok.
In Windows 7 I'm getting Device Manager's Error 10 on the NDIS peripheral (I'm using latest drivers from LG) while in Ubuntu I'm getting
Code:
[ 582.203335] usb 2-1.1: USB disconnect, device number 3
[ 582.410299] usb 2-1.1: new high-speed USB device number 4 using ehci_hcd
[ 582.579620] usbcore: registered new interface driver cdc_ether
[ 582.586001] rndis_host 2-1.1:1.0: RNDIS init failed, -32
[ 582.586056] rndis_host: probe of 2-1.1:1.0 failed with error -32
USB debug and storage works fine.
Any idea?
It does not work..

It's a known bug. Try using PDA net for the moment. It works fine for me.
Thanks for answers
I was afraid it was just only me because USB Tethering it's not mentioned in any rom/kernel post
pda net is very buggy for me
for me too, im using clockwork tether right now

I've try to connect a USB Stick on a Samsumg S3... it work out the box: a pop up appears on Android und leds blinking on the device.
Then I try with another smartphone with a MTK6572 (Alcatel one touch idol mini), but it didn't work. I've use the same cable and the same USB Sitck
Maybe you will be luckier... but be sure to use a OTG cable, the 4th pin (sense) must be grounded to the 5th pin (GND) on the micro USB connector.

Hello!
I want to connect my SGS-II i9100 via ethernet!
I have a OTG USB cable and a USB ethernet adapter ASIX AX88179.
On my Galaxy-Tab-S2 (original Rom) ist works out of the box, but not on the i9100.
On the i9100 I've installed LineageOS 14.1, Kernel: DorimanX V13.0b005 and TWRP 3.1.0-0.
I've found this older thread about ethernet driver on an Eee-Pad, the driver package should include the right driver for me:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2039886
I tried it out but on Termux I got the following error-message:
insmod: can't insert '/system/lib/modules/usb_ethernet/asix.ko': invalid module format
what does this mean?
I'm not familiar with linux... unfortunately.
Is there a way to install this driver in such a way or is kernel compiling the only way to integrate drivers?
I've found the original driver: http://www.asix.com.tw/FrootAttach/driver/AX88179_178A_LINUX_DRIVER_v1.19.0_SOURCE.tar.bz2
Can anyone please help me?
thanks and best regards!!
Hello,
i would like to allow my tablet Teclast T20 to connect to ETHERNET via USB.
I already own a USB to ETHERNET ADAPTER, that i use succesfully with my windows 10 laptop.
It is an ASIX AX88772 USB2.0 to Fast Ethernet Adapter, and i found that for this adapter is available a driver (source) in ASIX website
https://www.asix.com.tw/products.php?op=pItemdetail&PItemID=86;71;101&PLine=71
that should work for Linux and Android.
But when i connect the adapter to my tablet using an OTG Usb to microusb cable, and connect the ethernet cable to the adapter, nothing happens.
Searching on the web, i found that with Teclast T10, that is and older version of my tablet (that was without 3G module), was possible to connect to ethernet via a similar adapter with same chipset as mine : UtechSmart USB 2.0 to 10/100 Ethernet Network Adapter (Model US-USB2-E100).
Take a look here (min 5:55) Video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIKpsqEMvHs
My tablet Teclast T20 has cpu MT6797X (X27) and runs on Android Nougat 7.1 and has connectivity WiFi + LTE
The Teclast T10, instead, has cpu MT8176 and runs on Android Nougat 7.0 and has only WiFi connectivity
So perhaps the kernel is different and the drivers pre-built in the kernel are different. How can i check if an USB to Ethernet driver is already built in the kernel of my tablet? And, if it is not available, how can i add the driver to my tablet? I know that i should have the sources of my kernel, but i think it will be difficult to get them from Teclast. Any suggestion?
Thank you!
