So no need to replace. O.k.
Also USB to Ethernet is also an option..... How does that work?
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. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from oS Leap 15.1 x86_64 (Minas Tirith))
