Hi Victor-

Thanks for posting with your issue.

It sounds like you are seeing the same issue as the user here reported:
http://support.plugable.com/plugable/…

So far we have found that this error only occurs when unplugging the adapter before terminating any connections/applications using the cable, so making sure to properly terminate connections is the only workaround we can suggest so far.

Please let me know if you’ve any other questions.

Best wishes-

Hi Victor-

I just wanted to mention that I’m able to duplicate the issue where the system crashes when unplugging the cable during an active session on 2/3 of our lab systems. On the other, the screen application simply exits and returns to terminal.

Since all 3 systems are running the same driver, I think perhaps an OS X update that affects this is available. If you have a chance to copy in the output from the crash report from the issue and send that in a mail to support@plugable.com we would appreciate it.

We’ll be looking into this further, so any additional details you can offer are appreciated.

It’s been two years . Did you guys go out of business, or is there an updated driver?

Sorry to get testy. I found a driver for ASIX AX99179 from the manufacturer; it’s version 2.0.1. I’ll try that before mouthing off again.
