Is it this...

Looks interesting, it would be nice to have gigabit ethernet. Does Mobian have all the drivers needed for this to work? Also, it's my understanding that the USB-C port on the Pinephone exposes a USB 2 host. Do the USB 3 ports on the ebay dock work, but at USB 2 speed? (Presumably the gigabit ethernet would also connect at USB 2 speed. Still much faster than 100Mbit ethernet.)
Yes, looks like that. I have no idea what is inside and/or how many varieties of them there may be with different innards. I have no USB 3 devices to get any feel for what is behind the sockets, nor have I plugged in any HDMI. My purchase plan was for the RJ45 which works great. I can play a bit more tomorrow night to try fill in some of the gaps though.
