Have successfully connected an USB dock to the phone and keyboard + mouse works now fine. Next step is cable network. This is my adapter, connected to the USB hub:
How can I set up this device by CLI? There are no additional settings nowhere in the GUI settings menu after physically connecting the adapter.
Thanks for any help!
Is that device even supported by the kernel? Output of dmesg after plugging it in and also ifconfig -a should help.
output is, first a very long list of 2879:2879 transaction failed 29189/-22, size 32-0 line 3024, and at the end:

ifconfig -a shows much, 3 Ethernet blocks, one is the WLAN. The 2 others are:

when the cable isn’t connected, Device is connected by WLAN.
So the driver is obviously not part of the kernel, only a generic USB device is detected. Otherwise some more lines in dmesg should appear. Here is an output of my desktop:

Tough luck unless kernel modules are enabled and you manage to build the required module(s).
Do I have a chance to manually install the missing driver?
When i connected it to a router i got an ip address and could access the web
I don’t know. The driver runs in kernel space, i.e. is either compiled in or loaded as a module. First thing to check is, if your kernel supports module loading:
# zcat /proc/config.gz | grep CONFIG_MODULES
CONFIG_MODULES=y
On my XA2 modules are enabled. If the module is not shipped with the kernel
find /lib/modules/ -name "*.ko"
you will have to compile it.
zcat command shows:
[root@Handy2 defaultuser]# zcat /proc/config.gz | grep CONFIG_MODULES
CONFIG_MODULES_USE_ELF_RELA=y
CONFIG_MODULES=y
CONFIG_MODULES_TREE_LOOKUP=y
[root@Handy2 defaultuser]#
find command shows:
[root@Handy2 defaultuser]# find /lib/modules/ -name "*.ko"
/lib/modules/4.9.230/nfs_layout_flexfiles.ko
[root@Handy2 defaultuser]#
What does this mean?
Modules are enabled but there’s only one module shipped with the kernel. If you find the kernel sources for your device, you might be able to compile the driver.
