New version of DLink DUB-E100 not recognized

[defkitty]

D-Link has released a new version of the DUB-E100 USB network adapter in a smaller, black “stick’ case. ZS no longer recognizes this unit.

I found this description of a solution when searching the Google: (at http://grinkin.ru/dlink-DUB-E100.html)

Solution for USB Ethernet Dlink DUB-E100 linux driver

We have slackware-13.37 32 bit with kernel 2.6.37.6-smp
Also we have two types of DUB-E100, “big” and “small” about it phisical sizes. Where are no problems with a “big” under linux but problem with a “small” version.
First we do “modprobe asix” then insert “small” version in usb and see in logs

and nothing more. No new eth devices.

a lsusb shows “Bus 001 Device 002: ID 2001:1a02 D-Link Corp.”

A solution:
Download from internet or get from product CD the file DUB_E100_Linux_v420.zip, unpack it.
edit /usr/src/linux/drivers/net/usb/asix.c

Also if you’re using a kernel 2.6.37.6-smp from slackware distribution you can download asix.ko, place it to /lib/modules/2.6.37.6-smp/kernel/drivers/net/usb/asix.ko ,
and do depmod -a and modprobe asix.

Enjoy!
