I got a new USB ethernet adapter from ebay, the ad said RealTek chipset, so I thought I would chance it.
Well, my 5.2 system does not recognize the USB device. At all. What do I need to do?
I checked the driver CD and the XP driver directory's .inf file has the following:
; ASIX AX88172 USB2 to Fast Ethernet Adapter * ; * ; Copyright 2001-2003, ASIX Electronics Corporation * ; ; Version: 2.0.0.5 ;****************************************************************

How can I tell if this is a RealTek chipset and more importantly, getting it working?
