usb-c network adapter with chip AX99179A does not work after upgrade to Sequoia

I can see it in USB connected devices but not in Ethernet. There is written "This computer does not appear to have any Ethernet devices."


If I look into Settings - Network I am not able add Ethernet interface manually because there is no such choice.


Thank you in advance for your advice.

I was lucky in the end.

I found this link which contains driver ver. 2.4.0 released 2024-09-24 and it works.

And so the finger pointing begins, sadly


The operative wording " should be " and " is " are not one and the same thing


Apple can fix Apple Services, Applications, Operating Systems and Accessories 


Apple can not fix Third Party Accessories 


Apple can’t fix the Users’ choice of Third Party Accessories installed and use on this computer.


That clearly falls  Out-Side of the Domain of Apple and belongs solely with the Third Party Manufacturer of this device
