Corechip Semiconductor Usb To Ethernet Driver Linux

Active2 years, 1 month ago

Need to install a USB Ethernet Adapter (lsusb string below)

Download RD9700 USB2.0 to Fast Ethernet Adapter driver for Windows 7 / 8. USB 2.0 10/100M Ethernet Adaptor, No driver found: When i connect the USB 2.0 Ethernet Adapter to PC, installing device.

Bus 003 Device 005: ID 0bda:8152 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.

I have got four files by the manufacturer:

Corechip Semiconductor Inc

/home/sergey/Downloads/RTL8152/LINUX Andriod/50-usb-realtek-net.rules/home/sergey/Downloads/RTL8152/LINUX Andriod/compatibility.h/home/sergey/Downloads/RTL8152/LINUX Andriod/Makefile/home/sergey/Downloads/RTL8152/LINUX Andriod/r8152.c

Q1: Do I need to install these files above somehow?

Q2: If Q1 is negative, How to check the Adapter / make it work?

Note: The main goal is to connect a Wi-Fi hub (Zyxell KEENETIC) via the above Adapter. Indication on the hub shows no network connection via the Adapter.

Please advise.SK

Check to see if an interface is created:

Check to see if there are any clues in the log:
