[Felix Lammermann <felix.lammermann@xxxxxxxx>]

It doesn't work for me, I have pretty much no idea how to do this. Can
anyone please post step by step instructions for me?

What I did so far:

I have found a file called "ax88179_178a.ko" in
"/lib/modules/3.13.0-74-generic/kernel/drivers/net" as well as in
"/lib/modules/3.19.0-31-generic/kernel/drivers/net". I tried patching
each of them with:

patch "ax88179_178a.ko" < "0001-AX88179_178A-Add-VID-DID-for-Lenovo-
OneLinkDock-Giga.patch"

which returned in both cases:

patching file ax88179_178a.ko
Hunk #1 FAILED at 1418.
Hunk #2 FAILED at 1435.
2 out of 2 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file ax88179_178a.ko.rej

So my questions are:

1. What am I doing wrong? 
2. "3.13.0-74-generic" and "3.19.0-31-generic" seem to be better than "3.13.0-18-generic", should the ethernet therefore work out of the box and I don't need to patch this? If so, I probably have another problem with my ethernet and would be grateful if someone can help me.

Title:
  Add Lenovo ThinkPad OneLink GigaLAN USB ID to ax88179 driver

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in linux source package in Trusty:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Many new Thinkpad laptops have a dock (Thinkpad OneLink Dock) containing a usb ethernet chip that is supported by the ax88179 driver.
  However its USB ID is not included in the driver shipped with the 3.13 kernel used in Trusty.
  A patch to add this ID has been sent to the LKML (see https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/24/649 ) and it would be very convenient for all users of the dock if it could be applied to the Trusty kernel.
