Hello!
I just got home and am getting ready to try this.
I noticed you’re using the 5.10.17-2 kernel. I’m currently running 5.11.0-3. Should I update the version number?
I see the 5.10 headers and the 5.10 (UDL) version of the kernel, but I don’t see the 5.10.x version of the kernel for download…
EDIT: Also, did you use these Udev rules provided by Realtek with the 2.14 version of their linux driver?
The NIC mode appears to relate to the fact that this thing has multiple operation modes. I’m not sure what they each do, yet. Regarding modes, here’s what usbview
has to say:
