Anyway, my new HP 15s-eq2147 has these connectors:
- 2 USB (normal size) - 1 USB type C (Mini USB) - 1 HDMI
One of the normal USB slots is used for a wireless mouse connector, the other is free, but sporadically needed for a stick.
So USB to Ethernet is a little bit difficult. Maybe I find a wireless mouse connector in USB type C format. You may be able to use a wireless mouse without any dongle, just using the existing bluetooth wireless of the laptop (modern laptops also have BT). I have not tried this in Linux, but in Android. In Linux "should" work.
Otherwise, you will need an USB multiplier box. I presume that you understand it is an ethernet /adapter/ that is needed. Along with an RJ45 cable. USB-A or USB-C. Which he will have to connect to an USB multiplier box, because he has not enough free USB connections.
Different problem.
I understand that. However, an "adapter" was not mentioned explicitly. Given the bumps so far, that may need to be made clear. :) Given the number of things he is connecting to the USB, to connect an usb-eth adapter he needs more usb ports.
Yes, as I said, I understand that. I can see from my wording that it might be read to mean a usb, but I that was not my intent. Given the terminology confusion, I only meant to clarify that the "usb to ethernet" is called an /adapter/ (whereas a multiplier is usually called a hub). :) --dg
