    I wonder why they didn’t go with something more supported, like a Realtek chip. They’re not the best (I’d prefer Intel or Aquantia), but they’re cheap and widely supported. The Framework’s Ethernet expansion card uses a RTL8156 which is supported practically everywhere.

      They don’t design all of their laptops, so it’s not always up to them. They order off-the-shelf designs with their logo from Clevo or some other ODM and tweak the firmware.
