My instructions were for the command line.
Please open a terminal.
At the command prompt, type:
/sbin/ifconfig -a
Note what inferaces are shown; probably "lo" and "eth0".
Type the command:
dmesg | tail -100
Leave it on the screen for reference.
Open a second terminal.
Plug in a USB adapter and wait a few seconds.
Type the command:
dmesg | tail -100
Is there new stuff at the bottom of the output?
Type the command:
/sbin/ifconfig -a
Are there any new ethernet interfaces shown?
Repeat with each USB adapter until one or both of dmesg and ifconfig show new
stuff (ideally both).
When ifconfig shown a new interface you can try to configure it with
whatever setup tools your desktop interface offers.
Anyway, please try the command line based experiments recited above and
report.
Cheers,
