apple pie Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Here's my second problem after installing the 10.6.2 update. (The first problem being 'sleepenabler.kext' which caused a kernel panic during boot up. Luckily netkas' updated 'sleepenabler.kext' fixed that. ) I've been using a TU2-ET100 TRENDnet USB to 10/100Mbps Adapter and it worked great on 10.6/10.6.1. Networking stopped working after updating to 10.6.2, it still shows up in the system profiler as 'AX88772' and in system preferences/network it shows "USB Ethernet Not Connected". I found this while searching google for a fix... "The MacOS update seems to contain an updated driver for USB ethernet: Mac OSX 10.6.1: com.apple.driver.AppleUSBEthernet version 2.0.9 Mac OSX 10.6.2: com.apple.driver.AppleUSBEthernet version 2.1.0" Any suggestions?

Jimyma Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Not a solution I too have this bug with a Kensington Universal notebook docking station: http://eu.kensington.com/kensington/en/gb/...ng+station.aspx This has worked perfectly from 10.5 through to 10.6.1 This is odd as both our devices uses the ASIX AX88772 in common with Apple's own USB Ethernet adapter: http://www.asix.com.tw/FrootAttach/driver/...ReleaseNote.pdf http://wiki.wdtv.org/doku.php?id=supported_usb_devices A call to Apple's Support Line was pointless, however I have used the feedback mechanism to raise the issue: http://www.apple.com/feedback I also asked a question on the Apple USB Ethernet adapter as to whether it will work with 10.6.2: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB442Z/A There is a link to a driver which I will try as I did a Time Machine Back-up recently at: http://www.sustworks.com/site/news_usb_ethernet.html I will post back and let you know how I get on...

Jimyma Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 I tried the driver at: http://www.sustworks.com/site/news_usb_ethernet.html Which works for me. I have done some (not exhaustive) testing and it seems to work well enough. Make sure you take note of the uninstallation instructions that appear when you run the package. I'll post any problems I experience back here, but otherwise I will send those guys some cash! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimyma Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Just to confirm that I have been using the sustworks driver without any issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluesBrother Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Just to confirm that I have been using the sustworks driver without any issues. I'm a bit late to the party, here, but this thread was very valuable to me. I tried using a Trendnet TU2-ET100 USB-to-Ethernet adapter with my MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard 10.6.4, and it wouldn't even recognize it. Following the tip in this thread, I downloaded and installed the Sustainable Software driver for the AX88772 chipset and Snow Leopard and it works like a charm. Thanks!
