2016 MacBook Pro & USB-C network adapter

I am strongly considering buying the new 15" 2016 MacBook Pro for my office/personal machine. I will need to bootcamp windows 10 pro onto the laptop, in order for it to be compatible with my office network. When i asked my IT guys about this - the reply was "there hasn't been any information available as to whether the USB-based network adapters will support use under boot camp installations" and then recommended that i purchase a normal windows platform machine. Can you let me know if the new USB-C to ethernet adapter will be supported under a bootcamp installation of Windows 10 pro?

Thanks!

I have a 2016 MacBook Pro with 2 USB-C ethernet adapters. The Belkin one through Apple only works in macOS. At least I haven't been able to find a way to get it to work under Windows 10, yet.

My SMK-Link USB-C docking station's ethernet adapter doesn't work in macOS OR Windows 10.

Has anyone found an ethernet adapter that works with USB-C under Windows 10 on a MacBook Pro??
