USB Ethernet Dongle Doesn't work Sonoma 14.4

Mine works with no driver, etc.

Yep, and I've just confirmed my USB Ethernet dongle works with a genuine Mac running Sonoma 14.4 - Quite frustrating !
 
I had this same issue.. I had to install the driver from Realtek Website and works fine..

Go to https://www.realtek.com/Download/Index?cate_id=194&menu_id=297
Choose the 2nd link : USB FE / GbE / 2.5GbE / Gaming Family Controller Software Quick Download Link

After the download (enter captcha etc etc) and unzip.. open the .DMG file.. CLick on the package file to install the driver..

One important point is to to go to -> System Settings -> Privacy & Security and click on Allow software from Realtek...

Regards

Thanks, I seemed to have a conflict with an existing Apple kext and found I had to remove the Apple driver with:

Code:
sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBRealtek8153Patcher.kext

Then install the driver from Realtek

Refresh kextcache (I used "Hackintool" which has an option on "Utilities" tab)
Reboot

Seems to have fixed the issue.
