USB-Ethernet problems after 10.7.4

Hi!

After updating to OS X 10.7.4 last week on my MacBookAir3,2 I have been experiencing USB-Ethernet problems. Just out of the blue it suddenly disconnects.

Just now I connected my iPhone 4 and it just dropped my ethernet connection. I know there is nothing wrong with the cable, which besides that cannot be affected by upgrading my OS... Of course! 😉

The Wifi works great, but is just drops the USB-Ethernet. The only way of resetting it, it seems, is rebooting... but I have better things to do during my day to reboot over and over again.

Any other people experiencing this? Any better workaround to "reboot" the USB port or similar?

I have tried switching on and off the usb ehternet in the networks settings. Tried different ports as well. Also tried waiting a while and last but not least tried reconnecting the cable and different cables.

Best regards,

Paul Peelen

This response worked for me too. You don't necessarily have to uninstall the Android Transfer Agent, simply

1. Remove it from your login items so that it doesn't start at login

and 2. If you don't feel like restarting, open up activity monitor, search for "Transfer" and quit the Android Tranfer Agent Process.

This worked for my monoprice AX88178 USB-Ethernet adapter on my MBPr 15.
