ax88179_178a-pinger

ax88179_178a is a a helper to work around regular failure of the ax88179_178a driver for the ASIX A88179 and A88178 USB3.0-to-Gigabit-Ethernet adapters. It simply pings a configurable host address (e.g. your gateway) regularily and unloads and reloads the driver if there's no reply. It is basically a wrapper around ping.quiet_ping.

Quitting

Send SIGINT (usually done by pressing Ctrl+C in the terminal) and eventually wait for pending ping commands to return (send SIGTERM again to force quiting).
