usb c to ethernet adapter for macbook pro 2021 ventura 13.2.1

TLDR: I need to ethernet to connect to a robot controller. I have a macbook pro m1 pro 2021 with ventura 13.2.1. What usb c to ethernet adapter works right now?


-------------


I already tried two adapters.


The first one I tried was ISY IAD-1015 (somehow this product is not on their own website). The usb ports on the adapter work, only the ethernet does not. Some research indicate that it uses the ax88179 chip. Looking at https://www.asix.com.tw/en/search?keyword=AX88179 it only mentions macos 11.3 and the links about this are broken.


I also tried Satechi Type-C 2-in-1 USB Hub with Ethernet (https://satechi.net/products/type-c-2-in-1-usb-3-1-aluminum-3-port-hub-and-ethernet-port?variant=822360473609). It has the exact same issues. But this time it uses realtek 8153 (https://www.realtek.com/en/component/zoo/category/network-interface-controllers-10-100-1000m-gigabit-ethernet-usb-3-0-software).


At this point I have very little faith that there is currently a third party that has a working usb c to ethernet adapter and I'm also very disappointed apple doesnt have its own solution. But if anyone with a 2021 mbp has a working usb c to ethernet adapter let me know which one you have please.

The Belkin USB-C to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter - Apple


I use one and it works great.
