What kind of USB port is that connected to?

Mine is rev 2.00

No idea why it is showing "AX88179A".

Because that's what the device has in its descriptors.


It doesn't work for me at all without the change to the length argument
to usbnet_enqueue().

Network is broken (can't ssh into host) and I get these

[  61.0568368] axen0: discarding oversize frame (len=1518)
[  61.0768365] axen0: discarding oversize frame (len=1518)
[  63.7768881] axen0: discarding oversize frame (len=1518)
[  67.5569789] axen0: discarding oversize frame (len=1518)

I didn't investigate why

Would expect it is caused by the length passed to usbnet_enqueue().

I'm guessing the device causing this error is the same as mine:

<mail-index.netbsd.org/current-users/2023/08/11/msg044250.html>

I get that error with the driver in the tree.

I guess the AX88179A does things slightly different to previous chips
and the driver needs to handle the difference.

There appears to be a reference driver at
