This code cures the corrupted packets: ethtool --change eth0 speed 10 duplex full autoneg off The Davicom must be the Unknown USB 2.00 device in the background (see screenshot).

My friend has loaned me a USB Ethernet adapter (the device shows up as a DAVICOM) which worked without any problems at his house, Do you mean that it worked in HIS machine at HIS house or in YOUR machine at HIS house? Your machine only has USB1.1. That might not be fast enough to run your Ethernet ...

I had to experiment until I found one that allowed me to load everyth...

How to use Davicom USB Ethernet adapter in USB 1.1? (Solved)

Hi everyone, I'm almost a total noob at Linux in general.
