some description of Ethernet device needs to be showing in the list of networks at


system preferences > network


if none are shown after connecting the adapter, use the Add [+] button below the list to add an Ethernet connection type.


While you are there, use the gear icon to 'Set Service Order' and drag Ethernet TOPMOST, so that when its cable is plugged in, Ethernet will be used preferentially for internet access.
