Well it seems that the drivers for the ethernet adapters are probably going to need updating. Does anyone know where I can find the updated driver for Big Sur? I had this issue with the last beta and just remembered it now that I'm without an ethernet adapter to use. I use the 3 Gig adapter from Amazon Basics and it's worked excellent.
AX88179 Drivers for Big Sur 11.0
.0 (2021-05-17) appears to have fixed my slow ethernet speeds.
@Friedchips after getting that pop-up you simply need to go to "System Preferences -> Privacy and Security" and click on "allow".
Installation works for me but even 1.2.0 from yesterday crashes after a minute or two and I need to unplug and plugin the Ethernet cable. I hope it gets more stable in the next weeks :-/ I tried it on two different MacBook Pros (2016 and 2019 model).

Yesterday, Asix released another binary. It's still at version 1.2.0 but the release date changed. It still stops working after a few minutes.
Please download the latest ASIX USB Ethernet macOS 11.3 and above driver from ASIX download URL (https://www.asix.com.tw/en/support/download).
You can also see ASIX YouTube video - "ASIX USB Ethernet macOS Big Sur 11.3 Driver Installation Troubleshooting" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DA1J7II6RA0) for more details.
On my 11.5.1, the installer 1.2.0 denied even the SIP disabled.
Also, terminal is not working as follows.
/usr/sbin/spctl kext-consent list spctl: no kext consent configuration found
/usr/sbin/spctl kext-consent add 5RHFAZ9D4P spctl: failed to store new configuration.
Please advise me if you have any good ideas. Thanks!
download the latest driver and it will work like charm https://www.asix.com.tw/en/product/USBEthernet/Super-Speed_USB_Ethernet/AX88179
Does not work on macOS Monterey 12.0.1 (21A558) with AX88179 driver Version 1.3.0.
I was able to install the driver and the dongle also gets detected. The Device just does not recognize any cable.
This worked for me (StarTech USB hub on Big Sur): https://plugable.com/blogs/news/new-asix-driver-fixes-macos-11-big-sur-ethernet
StarTech's download is the same as the one you can get directly from Asix. Neither works on Monterey 12.0.1. I suspect that once again we will be waiting until August for a working driver and it will break again on the next OS.
Asix really is the worst.
A new driver (v2.0.0) was released. Unfortunately, it doesn't solve the issue that I'm experiencing (no internet after wakeup from standby):
