Title:
  ASIX USB-Ethernet driver noticably slow, dropping packets and
  reporting RX errors

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  After updating a natty system to precise beta-1, the asix USB ethernet
  device began flooding console and kernel log with messages:

  [68246.610332] asix 1-5:1.0: eth1: asix_rx_fixup() Bad RX Length 1416

  ifconfig showed RX errors incrementing as traffic passed through the
  interface, and throughput dwindled as low as 100Kb/s on a 100Mb
  network.

  Compiling the vendor's driver seems to remedy this.  It seems there is a history of bugs related to this specific driver since 2.6.36 -- see https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16831
