that is one of the other adapters i tried out and returned as it didnt work for me. it would constantly disconnect… probably due to defects though. it looks like its showing up but not as 2.5gbs.
It’s eth1. Unfortunately our tools did not support 2 ethernet adapter directly. Therefore you would need to configure the eth1 adapter manuall, using a drop in configuration file at /etc/network/interfaces.d/
I created the file and I can ping on the IP address but when I unplug the onboard NIC I dont get a connection and when I unplug the USB NIC I can still ping it.
It seems that the IP address is on the onboard NIC.
ip a shows:

Are you able to paste or screen shot where you are seeing this? 192.168.0.254 is the IP of eth0 I dont see any gateways shown in the “ip a” command output.
