That was the key. Yes, you're right. It's supported and uses the if_cdce
driver, but there is no mediaopt extention with ifconfig. Nevertheless
it is connected with one 1 Gbit/s. So, that's fine.

It was due to a "faulty" USB OTG cable of the RPI. If I plug the device
connector until the end, it isn't detected, because it has no power. If
I slighly move it back for some mm, that the power is connected and the
device will be detected:

usbconfig -d 0.2 dump_device_desc
ugen0.2: <USB 101001000 LAN Realtek> at usbus0, cfg=1 md=HOST spd=HIGH
(480Mbps) pwr=ON (180mA)

Strange chinese adaptors ... :-)

So, thanks again

Best regards,
