RTL8156BG support

[d-zalewski]

Hi,

I found this usb network adapter that is using RTL8156BG chipset instead of RTL8156 or RTL8156B versions.

"This controller improves upon the performance issues commonly associated with the RTL8156 and RTL8156B versions."

Any ideas if its supported by this driver? If not one has tried it yet I'm happy to buy a pair and test it with my DS716+ NAS a Macbook Pro M1

I purchased a product sold in Japan that uses the RTL8156BG and confirmed that it works.

As the vendor claims that it consumes 64% less power than the RTL8156, it generates almost no heat during use. I like it very much and it is worth replacing if they are using the RTL8156 product. 😄

to all:

I have added as much information about RTL8156BG as I can find on the top page. If you find other products using RTL8156BG, please let me know.

One user disassembled the adapter and measured the temperature, and I will link to that report. #383
