This is a newer USB3 device, and support was only added to the asix driver in kernel-3.10. Unfortunately it's not trivial for me to backport that driver from kernel-3.10 to el6 so you would need to use a kernel >= 3.10. Alternatively, I might be able to build you a standalone driver supporting only that device if you are able to test. If so, please file an RFE requesting the driver at http://elrepo.org/bugs
