(Fixed) Ethernet card stopped working after update
« on: December 01, 2010, 05:08:54 PM »
I just updated everything from the PASS server and my ethernet card stopped working. It is an ASIX Elec. Corp. AX88x72a.  It is a card that plugs into a USB port. The card is OK because it works in Windows. Could something in the update have changed the driver? I did try pressing connect in the network center, but that didn't fix the problem.

did you changed the kernel?

in the control center sometimes delete the connection and recreate it helps, at least here

in konsole, the device is recognized?  write lsusb and post results, with the device connected

open the terminal, type "su", press "enter" and then enter root's password when asked to log in to root's terminal and then type this command to make sure system log service is running

service syslog restart

then unplug your usb ethernet cable, wait for 5 seconds and then plug it back it, what for ten seconds and then type this command on the same terminal and report its output

cat /var/log/syslog | tail -n 50

ps:
copy and paste the commands to make sure you dont mistype them

After doing that it is working again.  The output is below. Could you explain what went wrong and what those commands did to fix it?
Thanks for your help!
