Expert advice needed ASAP!: Can't get Ethernet setup with USB adaptor I'm suddenly seeing a problem where my MacBook is refusing to connect to Ethernet, despite that a known working USB to Ethernet Adaptor (Realtek chip) is connected to the MacBook. The adaptor I'm using is a standard USB to Gigabit Ethernet adaptor, using a Realtek chip. So no drivers are necessary, and has worked flawlessly in the past. All of a sudden, it would not detect the Ethernet connection at all, even though the System Information clearly shows that the "USB 10/100/1000 LAN" is connected and working. Even if I connect a cable to the adaptor, it doesn't go online in the Network Preferences panel. I thought I might need to delete the connection and add it again, only to find that you can't add the USB Ethernet connection in Network Preferences, as shown below. Note how it is detecting the USB adaptor, but doesn't appear in Network Preferences. I'm stumped. Any help appreciated! I've posted a same question on the Big Sur forums, but with no help or reply whatsoever... perhaps the MacBook section may be better thus reposting the same question here.

Apple thunderbolt to gigabit adapter not functioning I recently updated my 2015 MacBook Pro to Big Sur 11.2.1and my non-branded gigabit Ethernet adapter stopped functioning. Checking that vendor support they said they did not support Big Sur. In desperation I bought the Apple branded Thunderbolt to Gigabit adapter and that didn't work either. A quick search of Apple turned up little useful info so a wider search I cam across info relating to the AX88179 device incompatibility with Big Sur so I checked my hardware System Information and found the following hardware device listed for my MacBook gigabit ethernet port AX88179 USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet So it would appear that the Apple brand thunderbolt to gigabit ethernet adapter is not supported in my MacBook Pro 2015 running Big Sur 11.2.1 Anyone else have this problem? Anyone know of a fix?
