The couple of USB 3 gigabit dongles I've got use ASIX rather than Realtek chips; no relative endorsement there, but they are cheap enough, work reliably with Linux and Windows 7+.

Interestingly, there are 2.5GbE USB 3 NICs, which makes sense given that 3.0/3.1 Gen 1 goes to 5Gbps. Closer to $60 than $10, though, and I've no experience with whether they're reliable or not.
