We are filing bugs with DisplayLink based on Plugable customer feedback. There is a specific thread on possible causes of Kernel panics. See DisplayLink’s Mac user forum for the latest details. And some customers have reported crashes and hangs after installing DisplayLink drivers on Mountain Lion. Note that the performance of USB graphics on Mac is not yet at the same level as Windows. Uninstall any old DisplayLink drivers before upgrading from 10.7.x.After upgrade, download and install the production version of DisplayLink’s v1.8 driver (or later) for OS X at DisplayLink’s Mac driver page. If the status in network settings goes green with a good IP address (not 169.x.x.x), the adapter is working properly. Approve the change to return to the main network settings screen. If a new USB Gigabit interface hasn’t been created, then click the plus button, and add a new interface for the USB Gigabit Ethernet adapter.Ĭlick the gear button, choose to set the service order, and drag the Gigabit Ethernet interface to the top of the list to make it your primary network connection. Go to network settings and delete any existing USB Gigabit Ethernet interfaces by highlighting and clicking the minus button.Īfter installation and reboot, plug in the adapter. Uninstall previously installed third-party ASIX AX88772 driver before upgrading 10.7 or 10.8, to use Apple’s built-in drivers. For now, in all cases we are recommending the solutions that have worked for everyone.Īny Plugable products not listed below have not yet been tested or have no Mac support (USB 3.0 graphics adapters, USB 3.0 docking station, Windows Easy Transfer cable). If you read this post before and notice changes, it’s because we’ve revised our advice based on differences between our test results and what many customers were reporting.
