Hello Jonathan, I must admit, I don't know what you exactly are talking about (gpio twiddling :-) I got an answer from axis, I think I can post it here: > Dear Guido: > Thank you for your question. AX88772 L and AX88772 LF are all support > Linux driver. D-Link can't support Linux driver because they has > different PID and VID at their new device. > > You should find out their PID and VID so that you can add it to Linux > driver. As often, they only talk about linux. I think, that is exactly what your diff has done. The guy from axis included the source code of the usbnet.c driver, which contains a lot of functions with ax88772 in their names. If it helps, I can forward it to you. One thing, if you don't have the time to improve the driver: I really don't need it, better use your time for important things ;-) Nevertheless, thanks for your help guido
