2 years ago Hm, this is a bit confusing as your dmesg is showing ASIX AX88179, but the link shows a Realtek driver. I am really not sure what kind of drivers that devices requires.
We use Linux 5.10, but the driver on that website support LInux only up to 5.6. Besides, we typically don't include random drivers from vendors, but rely on upstream Linux driver support.
Since the device seems working on PopOS, can you check what kernel modules get loaded when plugging in that device? (Plug device out, reboot, use lsmod to get a list of modules without the device, plug-in the device, use lsmod to get a list of modules with the device. From the difference it should be clear what driver PopOS uses).
Also the output of lsusb on PopOS with the device plugged in is helpful. What version of PopOS are you using?

Description of problem:
I installed Home Assistant OS 6.5 on a Mini PC M1T (Celeron N4100, 8 GB RAM, ...) and then bought a Atolla's USB3.0 Hub with Ethernet LAN port.
USB ports work correctly, but ethernet port is not working, which makes this device pointless to me (I bought it to have an Ethernet port and additional USB ports).
I tested it on my laptop before (PopOS!) and it worked flawlessly.
I checked their support page for the product, and they provide a tar file to install the driver on Linux. It seems to be a REALTEK 8152 like this one.
I assume this driver needs to be installed on the kernel to make it work, am I correct? I guess I cannot just hack something from my side, because this would be overwritten as soon as a new release is installed, right?
Thank you in advance for your help.
