I'm trying to setup an usb to ethernet converter as described in 

https://docs.modalai.com/doodle-labs-user-guide/   

It references this specific adapter but it is not in stock.

Are there a list of usb to ethernet adapter that can work on the VOXL usb expansion board?

Hi @jsearlePSU_ARL,
While I haven't personally tested with another ethernet adapter, most normal adapters should work such as [this one](https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-Foldable-Gigabit-Ethernet-Compatible/dp/B00YUU3KC6/ref=sr_1_4?crid=3NAV5YG73Z95H&keywords=apple%2Busb%2Bto%2Bethernet%2Badapter&qid=1637100674&qsid=142-6363071-2709101&sprefix=apple%2Busb%2Bto%2Bethernet%2Caps%2C242&sr=8-4&sres=B087QFQW6F%2CB00YUU3KC6%2CB08HQBC678%2CB08JGL51M4%2CB00ZZ6NW5E%2CB08CGWLK4G%2CB08P56RDDL%2CB08CB1QNLT%2CB0871ZHCKK%2CB086X3WMZN%2CB00MYTSN18%2CB07YWTTP9L%2CB013G4C8RE%2CB093FB9QWB%2CB00M77HMU0%2CB011K4RKFW&srpt=NETWORK_INTERFACE_CONTROLLER_ADAPTER&th=1)

tom,

Thanks. 

The reason i asked this question is because I tried a ANKER converter and it will not come up as a ethernet port in linux.

Interesting, can you post a picture of the hardware setup you are attempting to use that isn’t working?
