Connecting an ION to a Macbook Air - problem

I'm trying to connect to an ION to a Macbook Air 

I'm using an ethernet cable and an ethernet to USB adaptor.

The USB ethernet will only connect if the desk is re-started with everything plugged in, as soon as it loses connection it won't re-connect.

The USB ethernet stays 'unconnected' in the network preferences on my laptop until the ION is completely re-started

Its unusual because this normally works fine. Can anyone help? Many thanks
