Has anyone else been experiencing problems with ethernet adapters plugged in via micro to USB 2.0 and 3.0? My Note Pro has no issues detecting wired, wireless mice and keyboards. With the ethernet to USB adapters is a whole different story, there is no indication of the ethernet adapter routing data.

I have tried several ethernet adapters, the link state indicators on the ethernet adapters do light up, but once again Android does not give any indication of the connection being established. I have disabled WiFi, and even checked under 'Other Networks' menu on the system settings. Ethernet is listed as an option within the menu, but is disabled and grayed out, with or without the adapter and connection.

The cable has been tested and there are no issues, also I have tested the ethernet adapters with my laptop and my laptop has no issues establishing a connection via the adapter. I have had no luck finding for the solution, some people have reported this issue with other Android devices, but a clear solution is still undefined.

If anyone has a solution, feel free to post your findings.

After all those of us that are having this issue would appreciate a solution.

Works fine for me using the Apple Ethernet adapter. I also have a USB 3 -> Gig E but that does not work,

See my post here---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50983611&postcount=41
Here are some of the adapters that I used:

UNITEK USB 3.0

I/O Crest USB 2.0
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003M8I0RM/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I tested both of these adapters with USB 2.0 & 3.0 micro to USB adapters, both garnered the same result. It is odd that even the USB 2.0 adapter.
does not work either.

I have also been trying to do this - using a generic device from amazon that was advertised ad supporting my galaxy tabs. Greyed outat first, then suddenly worked - for two days. Since then, the ethernet option has been greyed out in settings, and friends have brought laptops which connect fine so i am sure it is not the cable. . Also had been using the charging port with adapter for months before this to use an external keyboard and mouse. Those no longer work either. Much harder to troubleshoot this tablet than any real computer!
