[9fans] startech usb21000s - ax88178 based gbe adapter

[Tristan]

i have a (surprise) startech usb21000s.

on a 100Mb link usb/ether recognizes it, but only recieves.
on a 1000Mb link usb/ether recognizes it, but doesn't pass either direction.

with the addition of the gigabit flags to Mall178, usb/ether recieved on
the 1000Mb connection.

i've poked around a little in the initialization, but so far no transmit.

between asix.c, the linux driver from ASIX, and the datasheet i have a
general sense of what's going on, but not enough to guess where the
problem lies.

hints?

thanks,
tristan
