USBCDCEthernet

This implements a driver for the USB-Ethernet adapter based on Davicom DM9601 on MacOS X, such as JP1081B/No:9700

Why does this project exist?

The official driver of JP1081B/No:9700 doesn't have a permanent MAC address. The MAC address is randomly defined. Also, it's impossible to define an IP address from MAC address.

How do I install it?

• Download the source here from Github and compile it with XCode
• Determine the path of the built kext and copy it to the /Library/Extension directory.

sudo cp -rf /Users/jay/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/USBCDCEthernet-ffdtszgghxiysdbvyujrkwghdzwd/Build/Products/Debug/USBCDCEthernet.kext /Library/Extensions/

• Change the user permissions on the extension.

sudo chown -R root:wheel /Library/Extensions/USBCDCEthernet.kext
sudo chmod -R 755 /Library/Extensions/USBCDCEthernet.kext

• Load the extension

sudo kextload /Library/Extensions/USBCDCEthernet.kext
