Thanks for looking into this Christopher - this issue seems to be fixed,
but I can't even enable wake-on-lan now - possibly a separate bug.

Title:
  Apple USB Ethernet fails when wake-on-lan is enabled (as happens by
  default)

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I'm running Oneiric (11.10) on a MacBookAir3,1 with Apple's USB
  Ethernet Adapter (A1277).

  Problem is that when I start up the computer it doesn't work -
  unplugging and replugging fixes it. A few days ago I tracked this down
  to the /usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d/disable_wol script which runs:

  ethtool -s eth0 wol g   # --> networking broken

  I've tried the vendor's GPL driver from
  http://www.asix.com.tw/download.php?sub=driverdetail&PItemID=86 and it
  works - wol doesn't break it.

  I've since discovered that a couple of fixes for the asix driver have
  been merged from the vendor and are now in linux 3.2-rc4:
  http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=history;f=drivers/net/usb/asix.c;h=e6fed4d4cb77f70c8c6d62af16d53a57ed31c99c;hb=HEAD.
  The fix for the wol issue seems to be in this commit
  http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=commit;h=4ad1438f025ed8d1e4e95a796ca7f0ad5a22c378.

  I think we should try to get these asix patches into the stable kernel so that this issue is fixed for other Oneiric users. I'm going to try to test that it fixes my issue by compiling 3.0.0-13.22 with the asix.c from 3.2-rc4.
