I found the old 1541U2 and the USB interfaces and connected them again.
The interfaces are an AX88772B with 0b95:772b, and AX88178 with 0b95:1780.
Only the first one could work according to the code:

    if (((prodID & 0xFFFE) != 0x772A) && (prodID != 0x7720)) {
        printf("Device product ID is not AX88772.\n");
        return 0;
    }

With firmware 3.0, there is no configuration option in the menu for the network
interfaces, but the normal 1541U2 menu does work. The switch tells me link
down, so no link beat.

With firmware 3.2, I can't even enter the i1541U2 menu when any of the USB
ethernet interfaces is connected as the cartridge doesn't respond to middle
button press anymore.

Regards,
Ralf
