Re: What package should I install to have a working wired LAN connection?
Thanks for your prompt reply.
I am unable to answer your question, viz. "Does that happen for yours?" because I am unable to boot into the Gnome desktop environment after a minimal install of Debian 10.4
Regards.

P.S.: I posted a question on how to boot into the Gnome desktop to the mailing list a few minutes before this question.

I have an Amazon USB3 ethernet adapter right here, which uses
the same chipset:
lsusb -v -s 004:006
Bus 004 Device 006: ID 0b95:1790 ASIX Electronics Corp. AX88179
Gigabit Ethernet
ip link show
produces a new enx-prefixed ethernet device as soon as I plug it
in.
Does that happen for yours?
