Hello,

I've tried to use different USB to Ethernet adapters with QubesOS but without success. Is there a chance to make them usable?

I've seen some have been successful. Where is it not working? Have you checked sys-usb's "ip addr" and journalctl after plugging one in?


Sorry for my unprecise way of asking.

It's not working on a Dell XPS Laptop with QubesOS booted from USB.

So far I have only used external USB memory media as removable devices in QubesOS, which can be listed with qvm-block and can be perfectly used and assigned to appVMs with the Devices Widget.

After plugging in the USB to ethernet adapter the following is shown:

$ journalctl | grep usb | tail -8

$ qvm-usb

So the adapter is recognized on usb 2-6. This also works with a second adapter of a different brand. And it works on different USB slots. I haven't tried that with external USB hubs so far. I plugged them directly into the Laptop.

The Devices Widget only shows local harddisk's partitions and the camera owned by dom0.

There is no VM called "sys-usb". I read at https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/usb/ that creating and using a USB cube could kill functionality of the USB keyboard in a LUKS install. As this combination is the case here (internal keyboard is USB) I don't think creating one would be a good idea.
