I just tried out my USB C wired ethernet adaptor in 9front with
partial success.
I don't know how to report hardware info from 9front, but here is
what OpenBSD dmesg says about my adaptor:
axen0 at uhub0 port 13 configuration 1 interface 0 "ASIX Elec. Corp.
AX88179" rev 3.00/1.00 addr 4
axen0: AX88179, address 00:90:9e:9d:0f:34
rgephy0 at axen0 phy 3: RTL8169S/8110S/8211, rev. 5
It is automatically detected by 9front's install/live ISO; after
plugging in, I just run ip/ipconfig.
It seems to work for a while (once for less than a minute, once for
a few minutes), and then I see "usbreadproc: USB Transaction Error"
printed to the console, and it stops working until I unplug, plug,
ip/ipconfig again. I only tried ip/ping and briefly browsed 9fs
9front.
Let me know if further debugging would be useful to anyone. I do
not normally run Plan 9 on that laptop (but it's my only one with
USB C ports).
