D-Link Ethernet Adapter DUB-E100 not recognized in Mountain Lion

Question

D-Link Ethernet Adapter DUB-E100 not recognized in Mountain Lion

I just upgraded my MacBook Air to Mountain Lion (I know, but better late than never). Unfortunately, my D-Link USB Ethernet adapter (I have 2 of them) that worked fine on Lion is not recognized on ML. I've checked the D-Link site for updated drivers, and they don't even have a driver for my Rev C hardware. Calling D-Link support costs more than buying a new adapter. Searching Apple support turns up no information, and a general web search only returns results that predate ML.

I would be eternally* grateful if someone could provide advice on where I might find a compatible driver. While I could probably write one, overall my fallback is to simply buy an Apple adapter.

*Perhaps not eternally, but for a day at least 🙂

MacBook Air, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)

FYI - unfortunately, this driver does not work with 10.9 Mavericks: device is recognized as USB network adapter but while using DHCP always got self-assigned IP, in case using manually assigned IP it cannot connect to the network resources.

I have just observed the same issue. After upgrading to Mavericks the device is not usable anymore (but I did not realize this immediately). The telephone support asked me to open a support ticket. Did so, if there is any solution available, I will post it here. Otherwise I will return the device to my local dealer :-(.

Finally I received a response from D-Link support regarding this USB network adapter and Mavericks: the device is not supported with Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks (that is what I knew before submitting the ticket 😟). Obviously they do not plan to fix this issue.

I just verified that the AX8817X driver from SustWorks works correctly with D-Link DUB-E100 on Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks!

Thanks, Adam!

Unfortunately, this driver does not help me with DUB-E100 rev C on 10.9.3 - installed KEXT just does not load and USB Etehrnet does not visible in the system preferences.

Also I've tried USB to Ethernet driver from asix.com.tx for AX88772x (Mac driver for ax8817x is absent there) chips - no luck - device does not work.

Had a similar issue, wrote the d-link support team which provided me with this driver ftp://ftp.dlink.de/dub/dub-e100/driver_software/DUB-E100_drv_revC1_2-0-0_MAC_all _multi_20140703.zip. Works fine on my OS X 10.9.4.
