Ah, I have a few of those USB-C multiports too. I'd thought you'd had an Ethernet hub powered by USB-C, something like this (which I'm about to buy, even if it's not exactly what I'm looking for, but may be useful in certain configs).

My use-case would be to either plug the USB-C end into one of my power adaptors and use it as a switch, or plug it into my laptop and let it provide Ethernet for my laptop from the router, etc., then have three other ports for my other devices I work with devices that require Ethernet to work).
(Remind me to do an lsusb -v tomorrow for you sometime tomorrow late afternoon.)

Easy way to tell is to plug your current USB-C hub into the M5; if you can see that Ethernet port then as 99% of these USB-C Ethernets are RealTek r815X based it'll probably work with this one (as I suspect it's also RealTek based).

(BTW, lsusb shows my USB-C hub as having a RTL8153 Ethernet controller.)
