Network Settings: Speed limited to 1000baseT?

[davorrr]

Hi friends!

I have this adapter: 2.5GbE USB C to Ethernet Adapter:

2.5GbE USB C to Ethernet Adapter NBASE-T NIC - USB 3.0 Type C 2.5/1 Gigabit/100 Mbps Multi Speed Net

Add a 2.5Gb Ethernet port to your MacBook, Chromebook or laptop with USB-C or Thunderbolt 3

I installed the Realtek RTL 8153 driver "RTUNICv1.0.20.dmg" from the website.
And I plugged it into my Big Sur machine

But there is no 2500base option in the network settings.
It's limited to 100basetT.

Does anybody have any idea?

I've found that it sometimes works to delete the network interface from System Settings and re-adding it.

You can check System Information -> Ethernet and see which drivers are being used.
