ASIX ax88179_178a USB-to-LAN adapter unusable after Core Update 170

+1 for this issue.

RED : “usb: ASIX Electronics Corp. AX88179 Gigabit Ethernet”

I am lucky to get 10 mins before DNS just dies and I have to restart networking to get it working again, reverting to 169.

Edit: Workaround by stealing a USB dongle from a Mac with a Realtek chipset in it, so didn’t roll back in the end.
