Windows 10 driver apple usb ethernet adapter driver windows

Понадобилось мне подключить Apple USB Ethernet адаптер к своему новому ультрабуку HUAWEI, который уже давно использовался с макбуком (бывает нужно подключаться к проводной сети). Никакого подвоха от Windows не ожидал, полагая что драйвер к сетевому адаптеру подхватится автоматически, но увы. Понимаю, что тема весьма специфичная и далеко не у всех есть «яблочный» USB Ethernet адаптер, но кому-то может пригодиться.

Windows 11 действительно смогла без проблем распознать оборудование, но драйвер под него самостоятельно найти не смогла. Так что адаптер мой не заработал.

На самом деле всё решаемо и драйвер под него есть, надо только знать где искать. Называться правда будет несколько иначе ASIX AX88772A USB 2.0 to Fast Ethernet Adapter. Скажу честно, решение нашёл в сети, правда ссылки для скачивания уже не работали, да и я предпочитаю брать драйвера с официальных ресурсов, а не левых сайтов.

Тут нужно будет выбрать Software & Tools –> Drivers –> USB Ethernet ICs –> AX88772A Single chip Low-pin-count USB 2.0 to 10/100M Fast Ethernet controller. Есть драйвера для разных версий Windows 32 и 64-bit и под Linux.

Кому лень самостоятельно искать, приведу прямую ссылку для загрузки драйвера Apple USB Ethernet Adapter для Windows 10 64-bit (именно его я ставил для своей Windows 11):
