OK, thanks

I've just built the OpenSUSE kernel from source, it has that CONFIG=m .
I think ASUS have changed the chip set.

only the USB id AFAICT - 0b05:17ab is supported

Do we have to wait for ASUS to debug their driver ? Supposedly it worked
with an older kernel (up to 3.10 I think)

does the attached trivial patch help?
(it should make the in-tree driver recognise your ASUS device)

Cheers
