Click the button below to download the drivers, and then scroll down to the new Update for M1 Systems, and macOS 11.5.1+ or macOS 12 Monterey section for instructions to uninstall the current driver before installing the latest version.

Specifically, for Plugable (and other major brands), the new driver architecture caused compatibility issues with USB Ethernet adapters featuring the ASIX AX88179 chipset used in our USB3-E1000 and USBC-E1000 adapters, among others. While we take their plug and play functionality for granted, Ethernet drivers are complex, and building stable, performant drivers on the new DEXT architecture and the requisite new code signing process, was not a trivial task.

(Please note, these drivers have only been tested by Plugable with the USB3-E1000 and USBC-E1000 adapters that we manufacture. If you have an adapter from another manufacturer and encounter issues with this driver, we recommend reaching out to them if you encounter any issues, though we encourage people to leave comments about their experiences below for the benefit of others.)

Are Ethernet Adapters from other brands affected by this OS update?Yes, all brands of USB Ethernet Adapters that use ASIX chips and drivers are affected. This includes Amazon, Anker, Dell, Uni, UGREEN, Cable Matters, etc. Regardless of brand, if the adapter uses ASIX USB to Ethernet technology that requires external driver installation for a network connection, it will no longer function as expected after updating to macOS 11 without a DEXT Driver Extension as ASIX has provided.

Are there any other options to add a wired network connection to my macOS 11 system?Yes! Wired Ethernet solutions utilizing common Realtek ICs are fully functional as they rely on drivers built into the OS and require no further installation from an end-user.

ASIX Electronics had updated their new USB to LAN OS X 10.9 drivers that were supported the new OS X 10.9 driver installer signing certificates feature onto their web site ( =driver). You can download a correct OSX 10.9 driver from ASIX's web site based on the IC model of your USB Etherent dongle to re-install the revised driver.

(Please note, these drivers and instructions are intended only for our Plugable manufactured adapters. If your adapter is from another manufacturer, we would suggest to reach out to that company directly for support.)

The installation of macOS 10.15 Catalina will disable older drivers for some devices and devices which rely on these drivers will no longer function until a compatible driver is reinstalled. Most Plugable products are not affected by this, with the exception of our USB Ethernet adapters that use ASIX Gigabit Ethernet chips (models: USBC-E1000, USB3-E1000, USB2-E1000, and USB2-E100).

Click the button below to download the drivers, and see the step-by-step instructions in the next section that document the driver installation and macOS Gatekeeper approval process for our USB3-E1000 and USBC-E1000 adapters, which both use the ASIX AX88179 chipset.

Are adapters from other brands affected by the Catalina update as well?Yes, the latest macOS Catalina update will affect any adapters with ASIX chipsets as drivers are not included in macOS and require installation by all customers upgrading to Catalina

I have an adapter from another manufacturer and it won't work. Can I use your steps and drivers?Sorry for the trouble! No, unfortunately not. The troubleshooting steps and drivers we have are only for the USB3-E1000, and USBC-E1000 adapters that we manufacture. We would suggest to reach out to the manufacturer of your adapter directly for support.

Will users who upgrade to Catalina with the older ASIX drivers installed get an error message?Unfortunately, not, the drivers will silently fail to load and no error messages will be presented to any user of incompatible drivers.

For the manufacturer of cloned/compatible ASICs, an interesting bonusAssuming you can ignore copyright law, and have no qualms about reproducing other companies' intellectual property for profit is driver support. The CD that came with the cheap adapter contains ASIX's own drivers for Windows and OS X.

The Windows drivers are the exact same digitally signed ones that Microsoft distributes through Windows Update, meaning the adapters appear to have "passed" Windows Hardware Quality Labs testing. Something the actual device manufacturer surely couldn't have afforded.

• This web page describes how to use the Linux usbnet driver,CONFIG_USB_USBNET in most Linux 2.4 (or later) kernels.This driver originally (2.4.early) focussed only onsupporting less conventional types of USB networking devices.In current Linux it's now a generalized core, supporting severalkinds of network devices running under Linux with "minidrivers",which are separate modulesthat can be as small as a pair of static data tables.One type is a host-to-host network cable.Those are good to understand, since some other devices describedhere need to be administered like those cables;Linux bridging is a useful tool tomake those two-node networks more manageable, andWindows XP includes this functionality too.

• Linux PDAs,and other embedded systems like DOCSIS cable modems,are much the same. They act as Hosts in the networkingsense while they are "devices" in the USB sense, sothey behave like the other end of a host-to-host cable.All that's needed is theUSB-IF Communications Device Class (CDC) "Ethernet" class,or a simplified variant if the hardware can't implement CDC to spec.(Unless you listen to Microsoft, who will tell you not to usesuch vendor-neutral protocols.They think a complex and poorly documented protocol they defined,RNDIS, is better for them.)

• Traditional Ethernet Adapters such as thehigh-speed (USB 2.0) ASIX 8817x based products.

It makes sense to have a common driver core becauseonly a handful of control and setup operations really needproduct- or class-specific code.Most of the driver handles i/o queues and USB faults,which can easily be product-neutral.And for some reason, vendors seem to dislike using standardframing in their Windows drivers, so many minidrivers needto wrap a technically-unnecessary layer of headers aroundEthernet packets for better interoperability.

Another approach to using IP over USB is to make thedevice look like a serial line or telecommunications modem,and then run PPP over those protocols.This document doesn't address those approaches, used sometimeswith USB drivers such as cdc_acm, usb-serial,and with adapters to IRDA or BlueTooth stacks.

Note that before Linux 2.6.14, the minidrivers were not split outinto their own modules. With older kernels, just "modprobe usbnet"to get everything; newer kernels modprobe the minidriver, whichdepends on usbnet to do all the USB-specific work. Device Minidriver Notes Advance USBNET cdc_subset (eTEK design) ALi M5632 (chip) cdc_subset USB 2.0 high speed; used in various products. The current Linux driver does NOT interoperate with the Win32"USB Virtual Network Adapter" driver from ALi (now Uli).(That ALI code seems to need a seven byte header thatnobody's taught Linux to use.) AnchorChips 2720 (chip) cdc_subset used in various products BAFO DirectLinq plusb (uses PL-2301) Belkin USB DirectConnect cdc_subset (eTEK design) eTEK (design) cdc_subset used in various products GeneSys GL620USB-A gl620a used in various products, including some motherboards and at least one BAFO product. the half-duplex GL620USB is NOT supported! products using it include the Inland Pro USB Quick Link Jaton USB ConNET plusb (uses PL-2302) LapLink Gold net1080 (uses NetChip 1080) NetChip 1080 (chip) net1080 used in various products Prolific PL-2301/2302 (chips) plusb used in various products; these two chipsseem to be all but identical Xircom PGUNET cdc_subset (uses AnchorChips 2720) Of those, support for the Prolific based devices is the least robust.(Likely better status handshaking would help a lot.)Seek out other options if you can.I've had the best luck with the designs used by Belkin and NetChip.

There's another interesting case that the usbnet driverhandles. You can connect your host (PC) to certain USB-enabled PDAs,cell phones, cable modems,or to any gadget that's very smart (maybe smart enough to embed Linux!)and uses one of the flavors of USB networking that this driver supports.Although you can program your PDA, it's not really a USB "host" (master),it's still "device" (slave).(Unless it supports USB OTG, a technology that's not yet widely available.)If that device talks like one of the host-to-host adapters listed above,a host won't know it's talking to a PDA that runs Linux directly. Device Minidriver Notes CDC Ethernet devices(including some cable modems) cdc_ether In Linux kernel 2.6, "usbnet" can support this standardUSB-IF class specification, replacing the older"CDCEther" or "cdc-ether" driver.Devices that embed Linux will often support this, usingthe Linux-USB Gadgetdriver stack and the "g_ether" driver, on hardware such asthe NetChip 2280 (USB 2.0 high speed). Epson based devices cdc_subset Epson provides example firmware. PXA-2xx based PDAs cdc_subset or rndis The PXA-250 and PXA-255 are used in successors toSA-1100 based products; there are other similarPXA-based products. "usbnet" talks toPDAs running standard ARM-Linux kernels with the"usb-eth" or "g_ether" drivers. SA-1100 based PDAs cdc_subset found in iPAQ, YOPY, and other PDAs using standard ARM Linux kernels; also see the resources at handhelds.org BLOB boot loader cdc_subset Some of the boot loaders used with embedded systemsallow the OS to be downloaded over USB usingTFTP. This is a big help when developing systemswhich don't have many I/O ports. One such bootloader is BLOB. Sharp Zaurus SL-5000D, SL-5500, SL-5600, SL-6000, A-300, B-500, C-700, C-750, C-760, C-860... cdc_subset or rndis These SA-1100 (or PXA-25x) based products don't use standard ARM Linux kernels, but usbnet talks to the gadget-side stack they use. Do NOT add the "usbdnet" driver, just get the latest "usbnet" patch if you have one of the newest Zaurus models. RNDIS based devices rndis Recent Linux kernels (2.6.14 and later) include experimentalsupport for the RNDIS protocol. Since that's the only USBnetworking protocol built into MS-Windows, it's interestingeven though it's a proprietary protocol with only incompletepublic documentation. The driver is young, but it seems towork with at least some Nokia cell phones. The cable devices perform a master-to-slave conversion anda slave-to-master conversion ... but these kinds of gadgets don't need the slave-to-master conversion, they're natural slaves!The PDA side initialization is a bit different,but the host side initialization (and most of the other informationprovided here) stays the same.And of course, the USB-enabled gadget could be running some otherOS, maybe an RTOS; it doesn't need to run Linux.It only needs to wrap network packets in one of a few ways,without many demands for control handshaking. 2ff7e9595c
