Failed USB ethernet adapter driver install ("NcipWaitForMultipleObjects failed with error 0x102")

Hi,

I'm trying to install an USB Ethernet adapter on my Windows 7 64-Bit computer. This always fails with "the device is not functioning" for both network adapters I have tried yet. I checked the setupapi.dev.log and found the following error:

    dvi:      {DIF_INSTALLDEVICE} 15:53:29.076
     dvi:           No class installer for 'ASIX AX88179 USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter'

Up until here the log didn't display any errors. What does this mean? How can I fix it?
