Troubleshooting - USB Fiber Network Adapter Does Not Work on IGEL OS

You use fibre-to-USB adaptors with your IGEL OS 12 devices. IGEL OS can see the adaptor, but no network trafic is transmitted.

Problem

Some USB ethernet fiber adaptors work with 4.4.x kernel but not with newer ones.

As of IGEL OS 12.7.1, you can activate the asix_thirdparty driver to get some fibre USB ethernet adapters to work.

In the Profile Configurator, create a profile for IGEL OS Base System. For more information on profile creation, see How to Create and Assign Profiles in the IGEL UMS Web App.
Go to System > Registry and enbale the following registry key:

Parameter	Use thirdparty asix kernel module.
Registry	`network.drivers.asix.prefer_thirdpart`
Range	[Auto] [Yes] [No]
Value	Auto
