Hi Greg, Indeed I must have somehow forgotten to reboot properly, in the sequence of selecting , downloading, installing. While testing with another USB device, it suddenly worked. and revering back to the first one, it also still worked , and a third one also. So I can only imagine the reboot has been done on the wrong moments :-( , it must have been to late to have proper concentration.
BTW the chip/driver is different from what I expected : Code: -------------------- [ 20.403141] sr9700 1-1:1.0 (unnamed net_device) (uninitialized): Error reading MAC address [ 20.403773] usbcore: registered new interface driver sr9700 [ 20.480047] brcmfmac: power management disabled [ 20.490109] dm9601 1-1:1.0 eth0: register 'dm9601' at usb-20980000.usb-1, Davicom DM96xx USB 10/100 Ethernet, 00:e0:4c:53:44:58 [ 20.500395] usbcore: registered new interface driver dm9601 [ 20.568734] brcmfmac: power management disabled [ 23.326369] dm9601 1-1:1.0 eth0: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 0xFFFF -------------------- The chip initialises at "full-speed" USB = 12 Mbits and has no MAC address in the chip, and probably takes a fallback one from the driver. Other web sources list these limitations too, so I guess that is just the Chinese design, included in the 3 euro deal. Do now I have 3 ! usb nics that all 'work' as long I do not trust on plain DHCP, using them at the same time, or need HD audio streams over the wired connection. I hope this listing will help others to avoid the chipset, or at least limit wasted time on the MAC and throughput limitations. Thanks for your support.
