Hello All,
I installed Centos 6.5 64 bit on a Dell Vostro 1550 laptop with i3 core. The kernel installed was 2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64. I was not able to compile kernel modules, even after installing the kernel headers, kernel source rpms.
So I downloaded the kernel linux-3.10.31.tar.xz, extracted it, and did the following:
make defconfig
change CONFIG_USB_USBNET=y, in the .config.
make
ASIX AX88xxx Based USB 2.0 Ethernet Adapters (USB_NET_AX8817X) [Y/n/m/?] (NEW) n ASIX AX88179/178A USB 3.0/2.0 to Gigabit Ethernet (USB_NET_AX88179_178A) [Y/n/m/?] (NEW) n
All the other options selected the default.make modules
make modules_install
make install
I backported this driver for el6 at elrepo. Rather than compile and maintain a complete kernel from source, you could have just set up elrepo and done 'yum install kmod-asix'.
