Update on this:

Plugged in both types of adapters and they each pull different addresses but when waiting for interfaces come back up, Fog gets confused and displays the same error. I was able to find n Amazon-branded (Cable matters) usb3 to ethernet adapter and tried with that. Success.

I’ve ordered USB-C to Ethernet from the same vendor, I’ll update this as soon as I get that one tested.

With all of this said, I did build a custom kernel with the original USB-C adapter from Dell and that still didn’t want to work.

@Sebastian-Roth Yep, it is.

Has anybody here successfully imaged a Dell Precision 5530 with fog? I’ve made an attempt with usb-a and usb-c type adapters. The error is “cannot enable. Maybe the USB cable is bad?”

I can image Optiplex/XPS/Precision 5510 & 5520s with the same gear. I have a feeling that this is kernel related. That said, I have tested just about all of the available kernels offered through the web gui. Has anybody else experienced this?

Update: Have tried kernel argument has_usb_nic=1 with a variety of kernel versions.
