      Well you'll probably at least see 100Mbps through that. 😉

      I have seen reports of adapters using the axe driver that got close to 1G with USB3. But far more reports of woefully lower results!

      I think this line indicates it only has one config index:

      bNumConfigurations = 0x0001

      So not possible to set a different one as linked there.

      But, I agree, this looks like it might be the cheaper device. The TP-Link NIC may well work by setting an alternate config index. @sscleber ?

      Ah, yes, if it tries to boot and finds the assigned interface missing then you will see problems. I would not normally expect a panic though.

      An Ethernet connected external modem will give far better results pretty much every time.

      Response from Netgate Support:
      "Powering that device with the USB port should be fine."

      Check the bios for any sort of USB power saving features that might be shutting down the NIC at reboot.
