Light dawns! I thought you were talking about a solution for the Ethernet
adaptor not the ability to access the Pi to establish the USB Type that the
c**p has.
I'd already solved that on the Pi. I plugged in the device and booted the Pi,
then I unplugged the device, plugged in the keyboard and opened the kernel
log. That's how I knew that the device was a Davicom DM9601.
