I got one of these recently: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B085ZLKRLV/ It is a Realtek, RTL8811CU (according to the description). Be aware that the driver, though available on github, is not upstream. I'm not sure why. I've had another one for a number of years with the same chipset and it has worked previously. Another option, and something to have on hand anyway, is a usb ethernet dongle. They are pretty cheap, $10-$20, and almost always work right out of the box. -- Russell Senior, President russ...@personaltelco.net _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
