@jimfini I think that USB ethernet is using the RTL8156 chipset.

Please try adding my r8152-module-alt USB driver and see if it works: download page.

USB ethernets are not the best devices for XCP.

Let the community know if this driver works for you as it's new and has not been well tested.

@Andrew Thanks Andrew will try it

@Andrew
Had no luck with the USB driver, could be though i am doing something wrong , i think i will keep away from USB nics , thanks anyway.

Andrew

@jimfini I'm happy to help if you want to try it. After driver install/reboot, did you refresh your network interfaces on XO? You can look at dmesg on XCP to see the driver loading. Run ip link to see the interfaces.

@Andrew Thanks Andrew sounds good , let me know when it suits..
