Anker USB 3.0 Gigabit adapter

Well, I was going to give you readers a report on a USB 3.0 Mac compatible Gigabite Ethernet adapter. Unfortunately, it was DOA (Dead on Arrival) so I'll have to RMA and report back.

I picked myself up an Anker USB ethernet dongle with the ASIX AX88179 Chipset. This apparently is Windows 8 and OSX Mountain Lion compatible. The drivers loaded up and I can ifconfig en4 up and down. The systems see the Mac Address and lights but I think there was a short in the cabling.
