Replied In AX88179 Driver for MacOS 11.5
ASIX is absolutely incapable of keeping their DEXT driver working. It took them until August to get it working under Big Sur and now it's broken again. I've already replaced my ASIX dongles. I just keep watching this because - like a good car wreck - you just can't look away.

StarTech's download is the same as the one you can get directly from Asix. Neither works on Monterey 12.0.1. I suspect that once again we will be waiting until August for a working driver and it will break again on the next OS. Asix really is the worst.

I'm sorry, but disabling SIP for a device driver is a hard no. It makes no sense to me that you can't write a driver for a USB Ethernet dongle that requires this. ASIX had all summer long to get their s__t together and failed miserably.

Well, tomorrow is the day that officially there will be no working driver for this chipset for the current release of MacOS X. ASIX should be ashamed of themselves.

The suggestion of using spctl in recovery mode worked for me too.
