It's a pity it's made abroad. Does anyone know if there are similar USB network card products in China?

Bump it up. Is there any brothers who have used it? Please respond.

Hello! Thank you. Haha.

It is impossible~~
Basically, there are many kinds of USB devices (USB Serial, USB Mass Storage, USB Hub....), and there are differences in the corresponding USB protocols!! There are also many USB chipset, and there are differences in characteristics and control methods!!
The common drivers in DOS are all for USB Mass Storage (that is, USB DISK)~~~You need to first write the control of the USB chip, complete the protocol according to the device description provided in the USB white paper, and then write the network protocol. It's difficult, right!!
In fact, you can consider using TCP51 products. Please use Google to find them. They can let you surf the Internet via RS232. If you want to use USB LAN, basically there is no solution

USB 10/100 MB Fast Ethernet Adapter + PXE on Disk
PXE on Disk™ client-based firmware that enables client PCs/Notebooks/Servers to access and boot from boot image files on a server. Supports the Intel wired for management specification's Preboot Execution Environment (PXE). PXE enables network administrators to deploy centrally-administered management applications to networked clients during their boot phase. Examples of preboot applications are OS deployment (Microsoft RIS) for new PCs and disaster recovery, virus scanning, PC Bios updates and critical file restore facilities.
Full/half duplex operation is auto-detected. In full-duplex mode, the PC is connected to a switch on a dedicated segment. With transmission and reception taking place simultaneously, data transfer is doubled. Everything you need to get started is included in one box. The Argon Technology's USB 10/100Mbps network adapter comes complete with a USB cable, which plugs into the USB port of the PC or the USB hub; and an RJ-45 socket to attach a standard UTP cable for a 10BaseT or 100BaseTX connection.
