The asix driver appears to be broken with the latest dist-upgrade code in the
sid repository.
The Netgear FA-120 USB ethernet adapter puts out these messages:

The airlink101 adapter (asix 88178 chip) hangs the entire system.
And the Apple usb/ethernet adapter (also asix based) puts these stack dumps in

This doesn't appear to be kernel specific...same behavior in the 2.6.36-2
kernel and the latest 2.6.37-1 kernel.

After the latest dist-upgrade, the Netgear adapter no longer works on my system.
What's puzzling is that it doesn't seem to be kernel dependent...the same error
messages happen whether the 2.6.36-2 kernel is used or the 2.6.27-1 kernel is
used.

I've switched to an Apple USB ethernet adapter in the meantime without
problems. An Airlink 101 adapter (Asix 88178 chipset) also works fine.
