There are 3-4 different chipsets used in most USB-Ethernet adapters and these should all be supported. If a device is not working (and you cannot get the NUC online) you need to dump the log to a USB drive "dmesg > /var/media/USBDRIVE/dmesg.log" (change for whatever the path to the device is) and then upload/pastebin the log so we can hopefully see what the issue is. You won't get a "buy this one!" purchase recommendation because most adapters are cheap/no-name branded and manufacturers are in the habit of changing the chips inside the adapter between different batches/versions of the device.
Hi everyone, I need some advice on purchasing a USB-to-Ethernet adapter for the NUC mini PC where I successfully installed LibreELEC. Unfortunately, the network connector isn't working, and the ISY adapter I purchased a while ago doesn't seem to be compatible.
don't get me wrong, when I'm saying the following:
in ¨35 years of computering I never have seen that an ethernet adapter failed.
when it was the case it mostly has been cable or driver (or it was just disabled in bios (somehow)).
my sugestion therfore is:
- assuming it's an Intel NUC ! -
- check the bios setting by tickering F2-Key during boot. Hit F9 to load bios defaults, what should actived the ethnet adapter
double check that's are the correct keys (usual displayed during boot)
- afterwards also check with another ethernet cable

as you're talking about ISY I assume your are from germany.
If so:
Mediamarkt offers an "ISY IAD 1010-C USB" or "IAD-1010-A" and claims it is "compatible with all OS'ses" (what ever that means, but mediamarkt offers "to bring it back and get back your money")

my suggestion for an todo list:
1. check bios and ethernet cable
2. try what chewitt sugested
3. try the ISY IAD from MM
