Asix usb to ethernet adapter and netctl

Hello All!
I'm having difficulty in getting my asix usb ethernet adapter to work with netctl.

I can, however, manually bring the link up and set the ip address.

As can be seen, an autoconfiguration ipv6 address based upon my MAC address was automatically added with the ip link command. The lights on the device are still not on and it still fails to communicate. One more command fixes that.

valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
inet6 fe80::20e:c6ff:fe88:fda1/64 scope link
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
So my question is, how can I get netctl to do this for me automatically.

I've bought an USB-to-ethernet-adapter and a minidisplay-port-to-VGA-adapter. But I can't use them at same time. At first, I plugged those two adapters and only the USB-to-ethernet worked. Tried restarting the mac then only VGA adapter worked.

I'm using new 13-inch MacBook Air early 2015. OS X 10.10.3.

Thanks Malcolm - Do you think it might be worth trying to flash the firmware on these cases - there seem to be updaters available on Prolific's website. Obviously I'd have to do it on a PC. I've emailed Prolific asking them about my problem. No reply as yet, and I'm not holding my breath! Do you know if there are any other posts on these boards relating to Prolific? Stupid question really - I'll just do a search...
Thanks again for your post. Cheers from Bonnie Scotland.

I need a USB/FireWire ethernet adapter

About 6 months ago my ethernet port was fried when a lightning bolt sent a surge through the wire. Since then i have been using my family's wireless network, but now that I am back in school and away from home, i don't have that luxury. So, i've been looking for a Mac compatible USB/FireWire ethernet adapter and have had no luck. If anyone knows where I can find one, let me know.

Hi Kllru,
Welcome to the Discussions.
The following link has info on compatible adapters as well as a driver for OS X.

Unusual issue with tag engine and BELKIN USB to Ethernet adapter??

I have an .scf file with 72 tags and several tag groups in it. If I open the tag engine without the usb adapter, I can read the tag group names with the get group list.vi. The tag group names are listed in black letters when wired to an indicator. When I plug in the usb ethernet adapter, immediately the group tag names are greyed out in the indicator without even running the vi. If I put a tag constant on the block diagram and try to select a tag name with the pointer, no tagnames pop up. It worked yesterday and my IT. department sent down a shockwave and flash5 update download when I booted up this morning. anyone have any ideas??

I am still seeing the tag groups disappear when I start the tag engine on labview7.0. I have several other programs running at the same time, KEPWARE, PROWORX NXT, USB to ethernet adapter. This is on a win2000 machine.

HELP: USB to Ethernet Adapter

Hello Everyone. I have a USB to Ethernet adapter for my Macbook Pro Retina. After plugging it into an ethernet cable and connecting everything, my computer still isn't reading it. I am wondering if there is an install driver or what or if I am doing something wrong. Thanks you for your help.

Brb8910,
what is the brand and model of your USB-to-Ethernet adapter? Does the manufacturer claim that it is compatible with your installed version of OS X?

Lenovo X131e doesn't work with Prolific PL2303 based USB to Serial Adapter and Windows 7 x64

This is sort of a bug report. A Lenovo X131e with Windows 7 x64 and the PL2303 driver including 1.6, 1.61 and 1.7 will not successfully install the driver - Windows always reports "Driver Install Failed" on plug in to USB 3 or USB2 ports. However, putting a USB2.0 hub inbetween the USB to Serial Adapter and either USB port type makes the adapter work fine. This was not the case with the X130e. I'm not sure where to report this beyond this posting, but more of an FYI.

If the USB can be used for other equipment,
That may be compatibility issues for USB and Prolific PL2303.
Don't plug Serial Adapter when installing the driver,
Ofter installation, Connect serial adapter to see whether it is working normally.

Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If you purchased the computer before 2010, your computer hasn't got Thunderbolt, so you can't use it

Apple USB to Ethernet Adapter??

Can you use the Apple " usb to ethernet " adapter with the airport express?

The USB port on the AirPort Express will only support a compatible printer, so using a USB to Ethernet adapter would not accomplish what you want to do.
If you add a simple 5 port Ethernet switch to the AirPort Express, one port will be used to connect to the Express with an Ethernet cable. You will then have 4 Ethernet ports available for devices.
Any major electronic/computer store will have what you need. Netgear or Cisco-Linksys make quality products.

Apple USB Ethernet Adapter and VLAN??

Bought the Apple USB Ethernet Adapter today because my built in ethernetport on my MBP stopped working. What I know I need to replace the motherboard to have it fixed, so I thought the USB adapter could be useful until then.
But, it didn't work! I only got a "Self assigned ip-address". No matter what I do. I also entered an ip-address manually with no success.
Later at home I tested again, and Voila!! It worked perfectly!
Back at the office, same problem... I only get a "Self assigned ip-address"...
My conclusion of this is that the Apple USB Ethernet Adapter doesn't support VLAN?? Could anyone confirm that or better of, suggest a solution??
Would appreciate it a lot!
PS. Yes we do have Wi-Fi, but it's restricted and is not a solution for me. DS.

Create a new network location and try again.

Usb to Ethernet adapter doesn't work? AX88772B

I don't know how to make a connection with Internet with RJ-45 cable with the usb adapter.
I have MBA. Lion 10.7.5
Now I need to connect MBA by RJ-45 cable with usb adapter (asus AX88772B)
MBA see the adapter (even without an ethernet cable).
I also did download drivers from here http://www.asix.com.tw/products.php?op=pItemdetail&PItemID=105;71;101&PLine=71
I read the instruction, and I've done 3 steps on the page 4 exept these one's:
(4) Set the permission access mode of Apple’s default driver.
(5) Update the access and modification times of ASIX’s AX88772B/772A/760/772 or AX88178 driver.
But i don't know how to do this.
In the system report is always written this:
AX88772B:
Product ID:          0x7e2b
Vendor ID:          0x0b95 (ASIX Electronics Corporation)

Current Available (mA):          500

But still I can't make an Usb to Ethernet connection in system preferenes, nothing written about it there.

Hmm. Well I tried rebooting with wifi off but that didn't fix things for me. Would you mind sharing what your System Information says under Thunderbolt? This is what mine looks like:

USB to RS232 Adapter and Driver Advise - Heeeeelllllllpppppp Please!!

Hi All,
Can someone please help me with an issue im having.
I currently have a hl-340 usb to rs232 adapter for me to be able to Console on to cisco equipment (as i am a network engineer).
I can not get this to work!! i have installed the pl2303 driver as recommended by the place who sold this to me on ebay which has not worked, i have looked around and saw the option of installing the keyspan for this product USA-19HS but with no joy.
I need to get this working ASAP or look to purchase a new one. I am based in the UK so if it is not possible to get this working then can you advise on what one will work?
I am a novice to the Mac so any assistance you can all give will be greatly received.
Thanks

Let's figure out what you have first. Plug in you RS-232 adapter. If the system has a driver that recognizes it, it should pop up a window about detecting a new network interface. If that happens, your USB device is recognized and should be working. If not, you may have the wrong driver loaded.
In any case, open the System Profiler application (click the Apple logo in the menu bar, then About This Mac, then More Info). When the app opens, click USB (under the Hardware heading) in the left window pane. This will reveal all detected USB buses, hubs, and devices. On my system, my RS-232 adapter shows up as USB-Serial Controller. Clicking on it shows these details in the bottom pane:
USB-Serial Controller:
Product ID: 0x4026
Vendor ID: 0x1453
Version: 3.00
Speed: Up to 12 Mb/sec
Manufacturer: Prolific Technology Inc.
Location ID: 0xfd323000
Current Available (mA): 500
Current Required (mA): 100
Your details may be different, especially the Product and Vendor ID. For the PL2303 driver to work, I think the important part is that the Manufacturer is Prolific Technology. If it's something else, you may need a different driver. Try to find your device, and reply back with its details.
With the adapter still connected, click Extensions (under the Software heading) in the left window pane. A list of all kernel extensions will be displayed. This will take a while.
On my system, with the driver that I recommended, the extension name is osx-pl2303. Clicking on it shows these details in the bottom pane:
osx-pl2303:
Version: 1.0.0d1
Last Modified: 05/27/06 11:49
Kind: Universal
Architectures: i386, ppc
64-Bit (Intel): No
Location: /System/Library/Extensions/osx-pl2303.kext
Kext Version: 1.0.0d1
Load Address: 0x3599e000
Valid: Yes
Authentic: Yes
Dependencies: Satisfied
If yours also displays this, then your device should be working. If so, then you'll need to figure out how to get your software to recognize it. Reply back with whatever details you find.

MacBook Pro turns off when USB to Ethernet adapter is unplugged.

Hi all!
As the title says, whenever I unplug my MacBook Pro from the network (plugged in via a USB to RJ45 adapter) the MacBook Pro powers down.
I would appreciate any help with this.
Cheers!

Try SMC and NVRAM resets:

If no success, bring the MBP into a genius bar for a FREE evaluation.
