Driver for Netgear FA120 USB2 ethernet

[Måns Rullgård]

Is there any chance to get a linux driver for a Netgear FA120 USB2
ethernet adaptor?  It's got two chips inside.  One is a Realtek
RTL8201BL and the other an ASIX AX88172.

/proc/bus/usb/devices:

T:  Bus=01 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=03 Cnt=01 Dev#=  4 Spd=480 MxCh= 0
D:  Ver= 2.00 Cls=02(comm.) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS=64 #Cfgs=  1
P:  Vendor=0846 ProdID=1040 Rev= 0.01
S:  Manufacturer=NETGEAR
S:  Product=NETGEAR FA120 Adapter

Documentation is available:

http://www.asix.com.tw/datasheet/mac/Ax88172.PDF
ftp://152.104.125.40/cn/phy/rtl8201bl/spec-8201bl(120).pdf

Is anyone working on it, or should I do it?  Not that I know how...
