If anyone is still having problems seeing a USB to Ethernet connection in Network settings, here's what worked for me. I'm using the Apple dongle, USB to Ethernet.

OS is High Sierra 13.13.4 2. Could not see the connection in network settings.

When you plug in the dongle, go to the menu bar, and click on About this Mac. Choose System Report. Scroll down to the USB section. You should see AX88772 (it's important that the dongle is plugged into the USB port on the MB).

I think that's what the dongle wants in terms of the driver, which for some reason seems to have been broken in this iteration of OS. Go to the ASIX website and download the driver for AX88772. I used the latest version 2.6.0 5. Install the package. The machine may give you a message saying your security preferences are blocking it. Just go to security preferences and tell it to allow installation. The machine will ask to restart.

Go to network settings. You should now see the option for the USB to Ethernet connection.

Connect your Ethernet cable to the dongle, and you should be in business. Hope this helps. Just wasted 5 hours of my life over a few days trying to figure this out, and add in two hours with the ever polite, but in this case unhelpful Apple support people. Apple Footer.

It seems Mavericks (OS X 10.9) doesn't automatically restore the installed USB Ethernet driver after upgrading from OS X 10.8 system. According to our experiences, you can download a correct Mac OSX 10.8 driver from ASIX Electronics web site based on the IC model of your USB Etherent dongle and then refer to the driver installation guide in the driver package to re-install the driver again. It should work fine. BTW, please make sure your USB Ethernet dongle does include ASIX product inside before installing ASIX driver. Well, it's strange. I'm using an Apple MC704ZM USB Ethernet adapter with my MacBook Air. After upgrading to Mavericks, there is a red light in the Network Preference Panel next to USB Ethernet - tells me the cable is not connected although it is.

As suggested by some, I then installed Asix AX88772 driver 4.0.0. Now there is a green light in the Network panel, but still internet is not working. I also posted feedback on Apple website.

Any idea what else could be done? I thank you for your precious help!

ASIX Electronics had updated their new USB to LAN OS X 10.9 drivers that were supported the new OS X 10.9 driver installer signing certificates feature onto their web site. You can download a correct OSX 10.9 driver from ASIX's web site based on the IC model of your USB Etherent dongle to re-install the revised driver. BTW, please make sure your USB Ethernet dongle does include ASIX product inside before installing ASIX driver. If you are not sure if your USB dongle is an authentic ASIX product or not?

If you refer to the document to identify it if necessary. I have manged to solve the issue with Apple's own USB Ethernet Adapter Model A1277: Looking in System Information, I found out it has the Product ID 0x1402. With that I found the source code of a driver mentioning various ASIX models: It turns out that A1277 corresponds to ASIXMODELAX88772 The drivers for these you will find here: I downloaded ' Apple Mac OS X 10.9 Driver' and it worked.

It boggles the mind that a totally functional Apple product bought in 2010 is unsupported in 2013, while drivers would still exist. I have a strange experience with a brandless USB 2.0 Ethernet Adapter that has an ASIX Electronics AX88x72A chipset on OS X 10.9.1 on my Macbook Air 6,2. Apple Footer.
