It doesn't work for me, I have pretty much no idea how to do this. Can anyone please post step by step instructions for me?
What I did so far: I have found a file called "ax88179_178a.ko" in "/lib/modules/3.13.0-74-generic/kernel/drivers/net" as well as in "/lib/modules/3.19.0-31-generic/kernel/drivers/net". I tried patching each of them with: patch "ax88179_178a.ko" < "0001-AX88179_178A-Add-VID-DID-for-Lenovo- OneLinkDock-Giga.patch" which returned in both cases: patching file ax88179_178a.ko Hunk #1 FAILED at 1418. Hunk #2 FAILED at 1435. 2 out of 2 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file ax88179_178a.ko.rej So my questions are: 1. What am I doing wrong? 2. "3.13.0-74-generic" and "3.19.0-31-generic" seem to be better than "3.13.0-18-generic", should the ethernet therefore work out of the box and I don't need to patch this? If so, I probably have another problem with my ethernet and would be grateful if someone can help me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1291890 Title: Add Lenovo ThinkPad OneLink GigaLAN USB ID to ax88179 driver Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in linux source package in Trusty: Fix Released Bug description: Many new Thinkpad laptops have a dock (Thinkpad OneLink Dock) containing a usb ethernet chip that is supported by the ax88179 driver. However its USB ID is not included in the driver shipped with the 3.13 kernel used in Trusty. A patch to add this ID has been sent to the LKML (see https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/24/649 ) and it would be very convenient for all users of the dock if it could be applied to the Trusty kernel.
