What I do see on my extensions list is AppleUSBRealtek8153Patcher.kext, is that the one supposedly being installed.

Realtek Rtl8150 Usb Driver Though Now

But it still uses the same Realtek 8153 chip although am using the native driver though now, AppleUSBECM.kext.

But the disconnects that required a restart were the bigger issue.

Tried several times, installing, rebooting, working for a little while, uninstalling.I can confirm it does not work with OS X 10.16.13.

I am using Dell WD15 dock which has that Realtek chip.

The device would still appear when running systemprofiler SPUSBDataType from a shell, but under System Preferences - Network it would not come back up.

Required a reboot to do so, so installing 1.0.19 was helpful.

Sometimes after replugging, it worked, but not always worked.

MacBook Air (11-inch, Early 2014), USB3.0 Ethernet Hub Orico HR02 (RTL8153), macOS Catalina 10.15.3.

I get the same error even with SIP disabled and after running sudo mount -uw.

First I installed their 1.0.20 driver, then noticed that nothing got better so I installed it disabling SIP first.

That seemed to work, the connection got more stable but still it drops randomly after some time.

If I cant find any solution Im gonna have to pay to try the overpriced Apple-Belkin.

Checked IO devices in System Report (USB) and found out that my ethernet adapter was not in the USB devices list.

Shutting down my display and the turning it back on had the desired effect.

Realtek Rtl8150 Usb Mac OS Driver And

Solution was to remove the Mac OS Driver and it seemed to solve the problem.

Or manually: sudo mount -uw sudo kextunload SystemLibraryExtensionsIONetworkingFamily.kextContentsPlugInsAppleRTL815X.kext sudo kextunload LibraryExtensionsAppleRTL815X.kext.
