I'd be happy to test your versions and let you know if the AX88179 adapter works, and please take your time. :)

I tested it on the patch, since I don't have Linux, but it identifies it as AX88772D, while on my Windows computer it...

The Wii and Wii U only supports the original AX88772 chip, and most ASIX adapters sold today use newer versions (AX88772B, 772C, or 772D) that aren't...
