ethernet connectivity with Anker USB-C Hub

I have bought the new Macbook and typically the store had no Apple cables in stock for anything.

I have since purchased the Anker USB-C 3 x USB 3 hub with ethernet. According to the Anker website and pictures it plugs straight into the USB C on the new Macbook. http://www.ianker.com/support-c60-g633.html

The USB 3 ports work fine but the Ethernet shows in the Mac Preferences as cable unplugged. The Apple website suggests 2 adaptors are required to work ethernet, a USB-C to USB adaptor and then a USB to Ethernet Adaptor. Thsi seems mad as the Anker has both built in. Has anyone successfully managed to connect a Macbook by ethernet with one of these multi-adaptors yet ? If so what was the magic trick to make it happen.

thanks

MacBook, OS X Yosemite (10.10.4), Anker USB-C 3 Adaptor with Ethernet

I have a Belkin USB-C to Ethernet adapter that works great, however on the MB, it still means you have to unplug to charge. I have all the cables and adapters I need with the USB-C, so I'm just looking for a USB-C Hub that is multiple USB-C ports going into one USB-C port.

Any recommendations anyone?

Anker have now released a patch as of last night 01 July 2015 to correct the issue.

It now works perfectly. It's a quality bit of hardware and now with the NIC patch works great
