Looking at the code - well, AX88772B is not supported. You need
AX88772A (or some other variant with PID 7720). You can still but such
an USB-LAN adapter, but double check the description (I found some
that were advertised as AX88772A , while in technical details they had
AX88760).

I have (~10 years) old Gembird NIC-U1, it is AX88772A based.
Also look for "UGREEN USB 2.0 to 10/100Mbps Ethernet Network Adapter",
one (local) seller put PCB photos showing AX88772A, I will order one
to verify it.

Konrad
