AX88772C/AX88772B/AX88772A/AX88760/AX88772
Mac OS X Driver Installation Guide
1. Introduction
This document contains the installation and uninstallation information of ASIX’s AX88772C/AX88772B
/AX88772A/AX88760/AX88772 Mac OS X 10.5 to 10.8 driver and Mac OS X 10.9 to 10.12 driver.
The native “AppleUSBEthernet” driver on Mac OS X 10.5 to 10.12 systems already support
AX88772A/AX88760/AX88772 dongles so users need not to manually install ASIX’s standard
AX88772A/AX88760/AX88772 Mac OS X driver if you don’t have any issue on Apple’s native driver.
The native “AppleUSBEthernet” driver of Mac OS X 10.5 to 10.12 systems doesn’t support
AX88772C/AX88772B dongles yet so users MUST manually install the latest AX88772C/AX88772B Mac OS
X driver.
Some USB to LAN dongles have manufacturers’ own VID/PID or have non-authentic ASIX product inside. If
both Apple’s native driver and ASIX’s standard driver couldn’t work fine with your USB-to-LAN dongle, please
contact the support guys of your USB-to-LAN dongle manufacturer for further support.
2. Driver Installation Procedures
The AX88772C/772B/772A/760/772 Mac OS X driver installation package is “AX88772.dmg”.
The following is an example of ASIX’s AX88772C/772B/772A/760/772 Mac OS X driver installation
