USB C hub and Ethernet adapter

[belfastraven]

Hello,

I have a Pinebook Pro, and I'd like to connect it to a hard wired network.

I have 2 different USB-C hubs that I could use, and here's a link to them on Amazon:

1. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TVSLDND/
2. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QJXP3DV/

I've tried both, and while it seems that USB ports on these devices work, the ethernet ports don't seem to work or show in `ip a` or `ifconfig`.

How do I get the ethernet port to work or 1 or both of these devices?

What distribution are you using?  and, have you tried plugging in the device "upside down",  that is oposite the cable orientation you are currently using.  A number of people have noted that some of the devices  work only if they are plugged in in a particular  orientation,  although that is not SUPPOSED to matter with a usbc cable.    I have one such device..  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07Z7H3GJK  I am  using Manjaro.
