I’m looking for the driver for the rtl8153, which belongs to the rtl8152 family. I have found:
https://software.opensuse.org/package/realtek-r8152 and
https://software.opensuse.org/package/realtek-r8152-kmp-default
but it says
There is no official package available for openSUSE Leap 15.3
How do I get the driver?
Thanks
Is this an USB to Ethernet Dongle?

Its inside the kernel:

After some exploration (ie google) i have found that there’s another one that is supposed to work better:
https://github.com/wget/realtek-r8152-linux
because the one from the kernel hangs and kills networkmanager, then I can’t shutdown anymore until the 4sec power off
Thanks.
We need:
lsusb
And the journal log from boot on susepaste:
journalctl -b
RTL8153 worked OK with Leap 15.0 - 15.1.
usbcore: registered new interface driver r8152
usbcore: registered new interface driver cdc_ether
https://www.pcsuggest.com/install-rtl8153-driver-linux/
It’s well supported by the Linux kernel, but the default r8152 module is rarely used, the generic cdc_ether driver is loaded instead. There’s another problem, sometimes the r8152 module shipped with kernel can’t even detect newer variants of the RTL8153 chip.
Hi, I just wanted to report that I have the same issue. I had it in 15.2 and 15.3. Any help is welcome.
Install hwinfo and post:

I’m the original poster. Doing an upgrade from leap 15.2 (which the usb ethernet was not working) to leap 15.3 though a zypper dup did not help with having the usb ethernet working.
But after “too many problems” I bit the bullet (full backup), brand new install of 15.3 and it works w/o any problem. Something/drivers must have been carried over from the 15.2, but I’m guessing…
You can test it by downloading the iso, burning it to a usb stick and boot from it.
It is a bit too long, so I posted to pastebin. I also changed my hostname with “{myhostname}”.
Thank you for the information. I would not like to have to perform a new install, but I’ll try with a live image. Anyway, I would like to solve this issue instead of a new install.
I think the connection is there:
Sep 22 09:02:55 {myhostname} NetworkManager[2039]: <info> [1632294175.0390] device (eth2): state change: secondaries -> activated (reason 'none', sys-iface-state: 'managed')
Sep 22 09:02:55 {myhostname} NetworkManager[2039]: <info> [1632294175.4350] device (eth2): Activation: successful, device activated.
Sep 22 09:02:55 {myhostname} NetworkManager[2039]: <info> [1632294175.5503] policy: set 'Conexión cableada 2' (eth2) as default for IPv4 routing and DNS
This are the last from your journal.
Yes, it constantly comes and goes. I lost connection, then recover it, the lost it again, then recover it. I can provide longer journal, I just call the command when there was only one disconnection and reconnection.
For Leap 15.3 check if these packages are installed: kernel-default-optional and kernel-default-extra.
And you need 2 repos from SLE for Leap 15.3.

Nothing to do.
So yesterday it worked perfectly. Today I am having problems again. Maybe I should re-install opensuse 15.3 from scratch but it is a bit painful to re-install all programs/packages and so on. It will have to wait until Christmas I think.
EDIT: it seems that after disconnecting the USB-C and connecting back again, it works perfectly.
Not really working perfectly, it drops intermitently but with less frequency than before.
Today I connected the ethernet cable to the adapter, then the adapter to my laptop’s USB-C port. The adapter has some USB 3 ports that I usually use, but today I have not used. All working. Maybe connecting several things is “too much” for my adapter? I’ll do more experiments.
