Ethernet through the dock?

[dukla2000]

...

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.)

Actually I guess I should admit upfront here I am out of my depth on the specifics! All I know is my RJ45 works

When plugging the dongle into my phone the log gets:

And while the firmware load problem may be a problem (I have setup/configured nothing to get the dongle to work except to share the IPv4) the actual throughput is not Gigabit IMHO - this is from my phone to my RockPro64. My knowledge runs out way before I can even suggest where the bottleneck may be.

ps - discovered my RockPro64 is initialising a 100Mbps eth0 so up front I have no idea my phone and dongle actual ability.
