What I did to make it work (Shell):

$> wget http:// asix.com.tw/FrootAttach/driver/AX88772B_772A_760_772_178_LINUX_Driver_v4.2.0_Source.zip

$> aptitude install unzip

$> unzip AX88772B_772A_760_772_178_LINUX_Driver_v4.2.0_Source.zip

$> cd AX88772B_772A_760_772_178_LINUX_Driver_v4.2.0_Source

$> make
[if no error occurs, there should be a file asix.ko in the current dir]

$> sudo make install

$> sudo modprobe asix
[now the adapter worked as expected wen pluged into usb]

$> echo asix >> /etc/modules
[and now also after reboot without modprobe each time]

Change the interface name after USB port change (ethX), edit: /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

Suspend mode FIX: Add custom sleep script to /etc/pc/sleep.d/

I named it '20_custom-ehci':

Since there is "only" a SSD disk, I considered to not use swap which I think makes hibernation impossible to work, but I don't care but for me, having suspend to ram working would be nice but doesn't work either - I have still to figure out what the cause could be.

My SSD settings:
- Enable trim support (discard) and disable file access time (noeatime)
- No swap partition
- /tmp, /var/run and /var/run/ock to ram (tmpfs)


/etc/fstab:
UUID={UUID} / ext4 rw,discard,noatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,noexec,nosuid 0 0

/etc/default/rcS:
RAMRUN=yes
RAMLOCK=yes

/etc/sysctl.conf:
vm.swappiness=0

==================================

Some additional fine tuning in power management may has to be done (according to powertop)
