Hi

I’m a new user of the F2-425plus running TOS7, and I’d like to know if anyone has used a compatible 5Gbps Ethernet USB-C adapter with the Realtek RTL8157-CG chipset. Does it work? If so, could you provide a step-by-step tutorial on how to set it up? Thanks.

Please open TOS terminal and enter this command "ls /sys/bus/usb/drivers" to check if adapter driver is supported or not
