Hi, I have a Sitecom NL-031 USB 3.0 NIC which I'd like to use under centos 6.5, but unfortunately I see no support. Or, I am doing something wrong.
I just checked the device ID pair [0df6:0072] against the current CentOS-6 kernel but it returned nothing. However, I did find the driver in ELRepo's kernel-ml:
alias usb:v0DF6p0072d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*in* ax88179_178a
It shows that the driver that supports your device is ax88179_178a . I suggest you try installing kernel-ml [1] and see if your NIC works. If that works well, you'd want to ask ELRepo if backporting the driver for EL-6 is possible.
Hey cool, thanks, using the kernel-ml actually works and gives me a usable ethx device! Ok, proves the concept, but is using a kernel-ml recommended for a production centos6 system? Or should I rather get a different USB 3.0 NIC that actually works with centos6 ? Which one? (Has to be a Gigabit USB NIC) Kind regards Michael
