I have a ESXi6.7 install on a Intel NUC7i5BEH, the adapter is StarTech US1GC301AU2R USB-C to Dual Gigabit Ethernet Adapter with USB (Type-A) Port. I did a esxcli hardware pci list | more and see the device but doe not show up in esxcli network nic list and not showing in vcenter GUI. Is this adapter not supported? Any hints?

Definitely the USB-C on a NUC7 (maybe the model matters maybe not)
I have tried to reset the port in the NUC setup (Video default to HDMI) but no go. I have a USB 3 version that DOES work....

I also tried this same adapter (USB-C ) in a NUC 8 and it DOES work.
