As it's a normal Ethernet USB device it should be recognized by the OS as it has been the case in 10.5.
Good to know that the driver somewhat works ( it's probably not autoloading as sleep does not work).
We'll see if Apple fixes this in 10.6.2.

Actually this just got much worse with 10.6.2 :-(
After upgrading to MacOSX 10.6.2 the USB Ethernet in DynaDock is not usable anymore. The MacOS update seems to contain an updated driver for USB ethernet:
Mac OSX 10.6.1: com.apple.driver.AppleUSBEthernet version 2.0.9
Mac OSX 10.6.2: com.apple.driver.AppleUSBEthernet version 2.1.0
Here is my initial observations after using 10.6.2 for about an hour or so:
The workaround that I posted for the 10.6.1 update does not seem to work anymore. OSX 10.6.2 repeatingly connects and disconnects the AX88772 device about every 20 seconds. This becomes quite evident if you have the HardwareGrowler running (HardwareGrowler shows hardware detections as Growl messages).
Right now I have no idea on how to get the DynaDock USBethernet to work with 10.6.2 - I would like to hear from anyone that finds a workaround for 10.6.2 - and I'll continue my research on this annoying topic :-(
