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

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.
Thanks for the added detail! Not running a sys-usb is probably why you
are having trouble with the adapter. Dom0 has no networking by design,
so if your USB devices are getting connected to it networking won't
work. Does that laptop have another USB controller not used by the
keyboard? If it does, you could make a sys-usb with just that controller
and try again. If not, I think you might be stuck with the internal wifi.
