Hi, I have been suggested to e-mail this list. My Dell XPS 13 is one of those without an ethernet outlet (for want of a better term). So I purchased a Keydex UG-ND1118-SV USB Lan Adapter and hooked it on, but it does not appear to be recognized (Fedora 19). Looking around it turns out that it is missing a driver. http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=137173085617601 This driver is OSS and GPL'd so I wonder when this will show up on net-next. Apparently, the 3.10 linux kernel has some support for it: $ modinfo dm9620 filename: /lib/modules/3.10.0-707.fc19.x86_64/kernel/drivers/net/usb/dm9620.ko license: GPL description: Davicom DM9620 USB 2.0 ethernet devices author: Peter Korsgaard [off-list ref] alias: usb:v0A46p1269d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*in* alias: usb:v0A46p0269d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*in* alias: usb:v0A46p9622d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*in* alias: usb:v0A46p9621d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*in* alias: usb:v0A46p9620d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*in* depends: usbnet,mii vermagic: 3.10.0-707.fc19.x86_64 SMP mod_unload The driver can be compiled against these. Any ideas when/whether this will be supported in the kernel? My apologies at my lack of clarity. Thank you very much, however, for your time!
