Subject: DHCP not working on usb ethernet dongle

I finally got a USB dongle for my laptop with a supported chipset
(ASIX AX88178), but when I try running ip/ipconfig it tells me that it
had no luck with DHCP. (The dongle *is* showing up under
/net/etherUwhatever, and cat'ing the addr file gives me the MAC
address, so it's finding the dongle, it's just not configuring/using
it). Any pointers on how I can get more verbose information about why
it's failing or what to look into?

(I tried manually configuring it with "ip/ipconfig -g <gateway> ether
add <an ip address> 255.255.255.0", but it doesn't seem to work that
way either, at least not well enough to ip/ping 8.8.8.8..)
