I don't own a rMB but have used my friend's for a couple of days when I didn't have my laptop with me. He has this hub and it seems to work fine: passthrough charging, Ethernet, 2x USB 3, HDMI and SD-card all in one. Only slight downside is you need to install a driver for Ethernet to work, but once that's done it's fine.
I obviously can't speak for its reliability, but it seemed very nice when I was using it.

Thank you for the assistance.
On the surface, it's exactly what I need. Under the hood, looking at the Amazon reviews, it's not rated well.
I might end up having to buy two different adapters. One for USB connection and one for powered-through ethernet.

This one is rated better:

Still new to this USB-C thing, so I am assuming it will do exactly what I need

Per my comments on the USB-C accessories master thread, Monoprice is known for high quality / high value. Here's the item: http://www.monoprice.com/product?c_id=103&cp_id=10330&cs_id=1033001&p_id=15246&seq=1&format=2
Or try this if you need USB 3, but slightly bulkier: http://www.monoprice.com/product?c_id=103&cp_id=10330&cs_id=1033001&p_id=15250&seq=1&format=2
I bought a similar version on Amazon for the same price. Native OS X driver for the Ethernet, and it works great.

Nothing beats the one made by Anker

Exactly. I ordered the Monoprice one mentioned above. Hopefully it will work well.
I am using Apples own digital Mutiport adaptor with Apple USB ethernet, work a treat. Have also used with in conjunction with a portable USB 3.0 hub - ethernet & external drive, no issues.

Where is the ethernet? Too thin. No ethernet in the specs

Nope, one Anker adaptor has ethernet and no power pass through, the other has power passthrough and no ethernet. You want to use Anker same as Apple`s will need a USB A to Ethernet adaptor, or you will need to run solely on battery power.

Oh that's funny, not sure why it says "Anker USB Type-C to Ethernet Adapter for USB Type-C Devices" in the title then! And in item description "High Speed Ethernet: Gigabit ethernet port provides access to superfast network speeds" what's all that about?! Guess it's a mistake?
