Review on 🔌 Amazon Basics USB 3.0 Ethernet Adapter for High-Speed Internet Connection (10/100/1000 Gigabit) by Donald Gore

UPDATE: As of May 21st, a driver is available on asix.com.tw that is now compatible with macOS Big Sur on Mac Intel and M1 computers. With the driver installed, the device works perfectly. This key is based on the Asix AX88179 chip. Before the release of Big Sur, this wasn't an issue. But now Asics has no driver that works normally under Big Sur. They have a driver that you can download, but the installation part requires you to boot into the recovery partition and DISABLE SYSTEM INTEGRITY PROTECTION. It's like buying a new car and using a crowbar to remove all the seat belts and airbags. It's a terrible, terrible thing to ask customers to do. What's particularly annoying is that Asix had to spend all summer writing new drivers for the new USB Ethernet APIs Apple released (particularly to block Ring 0 kernel extensions as a security enhancement). ). To an extent, I feel their pain - Apple has a bad reputation for moving API cheese a lot. But still, like I said, they had all summer to find the right solution, even though Big Sur was gone for more than a month. Oh, and don't expect the driver to work with new Apple Silicon Macs. hard pass.
