Download Driver Apple Usb Ethernet Adapter

I recently needed an Ethernet adapter for my laptop, which has USB and WiFi (of course) but no Ethernet. Somebody offered me an Apple USB-to-Ethernet adapter. I figured Windows would offer the driver automatically, after which I could use the computer in places where only wired networks were available.

I did a little more hunting online and found this link to a blog that said they'd found the driver for the chipset in the adapter, and convinced it to work. I followed a variant on their instructions, and it worked for me too. Here are the steps I used:

My pc does recognize my iPhone and the USBethernet but I seem to lack a driver. I have tried multiple attempts from other post including where you find the driver manually on your pc via this path: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\netdrivers.

However, to answer the underlying question of "what kind of driver do I write for a networking device connected via a thunderbolt dongle": That would be a NetworkingDriverKit driver. While the device is connected via a Thunderbolt adapter, it's just that, an adapter. This would also be true of a USB to Ethernet adapter. No need to suddenly also write a USBDriverKit driver in case someone uses a different type of dongle. Ultimately, the device will be communicating via a networking protocol, so that's the DriverKit you would need to use for this kind of application. For example, if you were to connect it to an ethernet jack of a Mac, it would still work. But then you wouldn't need PCIDriverKit at all! So focus on the main transport, and ignore adapters in the chain.

I was doing some testing on my Apple 2018 Mac Mini with the latest ESXi 7.0 Update 1 release and I needed to setup a separate network connection as the onboard 10GbE was not working for me initially. I was out of ideas but I did remember that I still have my Apple Thunderbolt 2 to gigabit ethernet adapter which was something I had used quite a bit in the early days when I was using the Apple Mac Mini as my homelab system.

This partially came in a surprise because the Apple network adapter uses the Broadcom tg3 driver and I was not 100% sure if the native Broadcom (ntg3) would automatically claim this device since it was never officially supported.

Im having a bit of trouble getting the adapter chain working on a NUC10i7FNH - ESXI version 7.0 Update 1.

The internal physical NIC gets picked up with the driver ne1000 but the Thunderbolt NIC is no dice ?

I own a mac mini late 2012 (i7, 2,6 ghz) and running esxi 7.03 for some years. now i got the thunderbolt 2 network adapter from apple but it is not seen in esxi. do i need another driver for it and where can i get it?

Very interesting topic. I think Realtek used to publish a driver for macOS, though not sure it's compatible with the latest versions. Have you investigated using a non-default driver? Also interested how the D-Link adapter performs. It was a sad day when Apple stopped including an ethernet port on their laptops.

Should you buy a Cable Matters USB 3.0 Gigabit Ethernet adapter for your Mac or PC? On the hardware and software side, it seems fine. Once the drivers are installed, it functions adequately. But I am deeply concerned that a vendor that would cut corners on the MAC address and OUI would cut corners other places, leaving me skeptical about the company and its products. Therefore, I cannot recommend this device.

Specifically, for Plugable (and other major brands), the new driver architecture caused compatibility issues with USB Ethernet adapters featuring the ASIX AX88179 chipset used in our USB3-E1000 and USBC-E1000 adapters, among others. While we take their plug and play functionality for granted, Ethernet drivers are complex, and building stable, performant drivers on the new DEXT architecture and the requisite new code signing process, was not a trivial task.

(Please note, these drivers have only been tested by Plugable with the USB3-E1000 and USBC-E1000 adapters that we manufacture. If you have an adapter from another manufacturer and encounter issues with this driver, we recommend reaching out to them if you encounter any issues, though we encourage people to leave comments about their experiences below for the benefit of others.)

Are Ethernet Adapters from other brands affected by this OS update?

Yes, all brands of USB Ethernet Adapters that use ASIX chips and drivers are affected. This includes Amazon, Anker, Dell, Uni, UGREEN, Cable Matters, etc. Regardless of brand, if the adapter uses ASIX USB to Ethernet technology that requires external driver installation for a network connection, it will no longer function as expected after updating to macOS 11 without a DEXT Driver Extension as ASIX has provided.

Is this a temporary or permanent situation?

We expect that with the new DEXT driver solution, there should be minimal impact on the utilization of ASIX AX88179-based Ethernet adapters going forward. In addition, this driver package should remain long-term functional outside of any behaviors potentially introduced via a macOS update.

Our Plugable USB Ethernet adapters are a great way to add wired Ethernet connectivity to your MacBook via USB! Once drivers are installed and the adapter is properly plugged in you should get a connection. But, sometimes there are exceptions, and you may need to manually add the adapter to your network devices to be able to use it. This is easy to do, so let's get started!

Has anyone set up a second NIC using a USB adapter? If so, did you have to install device drivers? I am hoping to avoid that if possible since I believe the linux kernal should already include default drivers for USB Ethernet adapters.

Thanks for the drivers! I just tried this adapter on a Viliv S7 running Windows XP and got 69Mbit Has anyone done speed testing on the adapter under Windows? I get 93Mbit/sec on my Macbook Air with OSX ,apple usb network adapters

So I recently purchased the inspiron 15 7000, which has 802.11ac wifi (very neat, yes). However, I should be able to use a USB to Ethernet adapter if I would rather hardwire connection, yes? Is there a driver update I'm missing, because first demo of this did not go well.

Hello guys/gals,

I just joined a few days ago and I'm trying to install Arch on my Mid 2013 Macbook Air right now.

I went through the file system and mounting setup, but now I'm stuck on the "pacstrap /mnt base" step because that require a network connection. I do not have an ethernet adapter and I can't setup a wireless connection. I checked the dmesg command, and a Broadcom wireless module showed up, and the kernel module name for it is "bcma". But when I ran "ip link" it only showed a "lo" interface, which is a loopback interface (127.0.0.1). I searched this up on the Wiki, and it seems like that I have to download & install a propertary Broadcom driver. Is there any ways around this issue without having an ethernet cable?

yes, right now, I ordered an ethernet ---> thunderbolt adapter for my Mac, and I'll try using it once it gets shipped. From what I've read, it seems like that working with an ethernet cable is much easier than working with wireless. Correct me if I'm wrong.

However, note that while ethernet hardware is very well supported, thunderbolt may or may not be. With wireless there is frequently actually an ethernet cable there - but it just goes to a wireless router: connecting the computer to the router is where you're having trouble. With the new device you will have an ethernet cable connected to a thunderbolt adapter - but the computer is not actually using an ethernet device directly (e.g. via pci connection); so the question is will the kernel support your thunderbolt device. I have no experience with thunderbolt, but in the quick search I did, it seems that is sketchy too.

Hello,

The ethernet to usb adapter I bought finally arrived and I was able to connect to the internet in Arch for the very first time. Forget about the wifi dongle, gonna get a plug-n-play dongle in the future. I will stick to the ethernet adapter until I complete a working Arch installation. Thanks for the help guys!

Third-party Ethernet adapters are also supported for network deployment, although they don't support PXE boot. To use a third-party Ethernet adapter, you must load the drivers into the deployment boot image, and you must launch that boot image from a separate storage device, such as a USB stick.

I've got a server running CentOS 5.3 (Final; kernel version 2.6.18) which I need to add a 2nd NIC to, initially temporarily, but eventually permanently. I'm not familiar with installing drivers under Linux and have only used system-config-network-tui and editing config files (we have no version of X installed) to configure the built-in ethernet adapter.

I found a few notes stating that the Apple USB Ethernet adapter works well under Linux. We're an Apple shop, so we have plenty and that'll do for the short term while we track down a better PCI-X ethernet adapter for this server. So, I downloaded & installed (make and make install) the appropriate version of the recommended AX88178 driver (Linux 2.6.38; for "Android 1.x/2.x/3.0, Linux kernel 2.6.14 and later"). After plugging in the Apple USB Ethernet adapter, it does show in the results of lsusb, but does not show in the options when I run system-config-network-tui.

Of note: I do now see a "dev23116" network interface when I run ifconfig -a that wasn't there before I installed the drivers. Is that the USB ethernet adapter? If so, do I alias that or use that as the interface's device in system-config-network-tui? e24fc04721
