USB-Ethernet dongle: how to activate?

[PaulB13]

Hi there!

Today I upgraded from S4 mini to S5 because of USB-OTG being available. This actually is true when I connect the micro-USB-to-EthernetRJ45 adaptor, not only does one (power)LED light up, the second LED (LAN cable connected?) lights up as well (with S4 mini all stayed dark).

Alas, the S5 doesn't beep/blip/or popup anything indicating it is recognizing the adaptor, let alonge fetching an IP address for it. It's an AX88772B chip, claimed to "work w/ almost any OTG capable device".

SO: How do it get a USB-Ethernet dongle to work with my S5?

The cabling behind it is ok, anything else receives a IP Address from my DHCP server.

Looking at the compatibility list here, it doesn't work with the S5-

Thx a lot for that informative list.
Asked the other way round, which drivers DOES an S5 contain? (got 1st hand experience?)

Anybody got a "list of USB-Ethernet chips that ARE supported by S5" ?

Sorry I don't have an answer for that, maybe someone else does.
I cannot recall ever having seen any mention of any such functionality for the S5.
