People sometimes want to use Ethernet with their GrapheneOS phone, not all adapters will work, but most do. Suggested format below.

Make sure to connect external power supply to the adapter as power provided by the phone may not be enough.
The cool thing about this adapter is that it connects to the phone via a standard USB-C to USB-C cable vs a short cable hard-attached to the adapter. It makes it easier to use.

This one has a RTL8153B chipset

flawedworld I think it would be useful to include the chipset aswell
For example:
Chipset: rtl8152
A lot of devices uses similar or even same chipsets.
Linux/Android kernel judges by the chip, not the particular model.
Is there a compatible USB C-to-ethernet adapter that is externally powered and does not offer pass-through charging?
This Adapter works for me: https://store.google.com/de/product/chromecast_ethernet_adapter_gen_2
(Maybe off topic) I’m trying to decide if I want to buy a Chromebook to use for installing GrapheneOS vis the web BUT not all Chromebooks have an Ethernet port. Would an adapter work? I know it's not ideal but WOULD IT WORK. I have not owned a PC in years. I figure a Chromebook is the cheapest way to go. (Thanks!)
Groetg No it's not possible to run GrapheneOS (GOS) on a Chromebook. They were referring to using a Chromebook to install GOS onto a Pixel.
It may be possible to install GOS onto the upcoming Pixel Tablet, but we won't know for sure until it comes out.
Out of interest, have people found these docks offer full functionality?
Like, say wanted to try a USB 4G dongle in the dock? And a keyboard. Share your successes.

Works fine at Windows, Linux, and an old LineageOS device. Unfortunately, I didn't managed to get it up and running with GOS yet.
Is anything else necessary other than just plugging it in when unlocked?

Just shut down the phone, plugged in this ethernet adapter, turned the phone on and GrapheneOS used it automatically.
