**My issue**: I can not connect to Ethernet via type C (J9) by adapter (i tried other hub). I followed these steps to flash the boot image from Modal AI here: [flashing-guide](https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-kernel-build-guide/#flashing-guide). 

**My question**: have any one can connect to Ethernet via type by adapter? I would like to know if we can connect to Ethernet without any extension board.

**My check**:
No log from kernel/journal when plugged in/out. I checked some drivers related to Ethernet from dmesg as

* r8152
* ax88179_178a
* lan78xx
* smsc75xx
* smsc95xx
* driver generic USB: cdc_ether, rndis_host, cdc_ncm, cdc_mbim, qmi_wwan

Hope to receive your answers, thanks a lot.
