I have a USB 3.0 AX88179 based Gigabit Ethernet adapter and after searching online, I found many people reporting success with this device under Linux. The driver entered the mainline kernel on version 3.9, but even before that, downloading the drivers from the the ASIX websites, compiling and loading the driver manually should work fine.
Unfortunately this is not the case for me on Ubuntu 12.10 and 13.04 on a Dell XPS 13 Developer Edition. I compile the driver (v1.4.0) without any problems (make, make install), I load it using modprobe and I see it as eth2. I can even see some RX/TX traffic but it cannot acquire an IP address so it is unusable.
dmesg output:
ifconfig output:
A different USB 2.0 Gigabit ethernet adapter and the WiFi are both working fine, so networking shouldn't be a problem on my laptop. Is there something I miss for this specific chipset?
FOLLOW UP
With the latest Kubuntu (and I guess Ubuntu as well) is working! So the problem is fixed. I guess it was a driver/kernel/hardware issue which is not present anymore with the latest kernel. I cannot tell the exact kernel version which made it to work, but for Trusty 14.04 everything looks fine!

This shouldn't be any different than manually compiling the driver as you've done, but other Ubuntu 12.04 precise users can use this ppa to easily install the driver:

yes, you are not getting an IPv4 address. and that's the only problem.

it is NOT a driver problem. the driver works just fine.
it's a configuration problem. you should be able to fix it editing the /etc/network/interfaces (i believe it's called the same on ubuntu..), telling it to use either a static ip or dhcp (more info on google); or, setting it (for static/dhcp) through your favorite network manager.

At first it worked, later sometimes and now hardly. I think the driver has trouble coping with the W10 updates.

just got this from Dell I have an outdated modem and can't figure out how to use this?? I've been trying all day and seems to be working but can't connect to internet. Help!!!
(2 stars)Doesn't work with current Linux kernels
The datasheet says this works with Linux kernels up to 3.5.0. But the current version of Ubuntu uses 4.15.0. Is there a driver version that will work with current releases of Ubuntu? Strangely, it seems to work fine with Linxux Mint which also runs the 4.15.0 kernel.
Response from StarTech.com:Nick, Customer Supporton 8/20/2018 1:39:58 PM
Thank you for your review.While our USB31000S may work in operating systems and kernels not listed, we're only able to offer support for the ones that are listed. In this case, we are only able to support LTS kernels between 2.6.25 and 4.11.x. We are not currently able to provide drivers for unsupported operating systems or kernels. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
(5 stars)Worked instantly and perfectly with Win10 T.P.
I purchased this to upgrade my laptop that had 10/100 Ethernet. Later, I installed Win10 Tech Preview on my desktop, and the Intel driver for the I218v gigabit Ethernet adapter wasn't compatible. Dug this adapter out of a drawer, plugged it in to USB3, and instantly had gigabit Ethernet. It's a great performer - I'm impressed all over again. Thanks, StarTech!
