I think I saw similar messages when I first plugged it in on Friday.
I don't remember whether I needed to unplug/replug between those
messages and the first time I saw it working. Today when I tried
it again, I did not see those messages. And the messages I saw when
it stopped working were different.
usbreadproc: Stopped
usbreadproc: device is detached

Here's my usbtree output. The second-last field is different; I don't know how
significant that is.
ep7.0: 255 csp 0x00ffff vid 0x0b95 did 0x1790 'ASIX Elec. Corp.' AX88179 e3ece

As for the exact model: the brand is "TechKey" but I couldn't find anything
that looks like a model number.
If it helps, the Amazon product page is at https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07XLLTL7V
and the description there is "USB C to Ethernet Adapter, Techkey USB
Thunderbolt 3 / Type C to RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet LAN Network Adapter Compatible
for MacBook Pro 2019/2018/2017 Dell XPS ChromeBook Galaxy S9/S8 and More".
