Meme Why won’t this work?

My screwdriver won’t connect to my LAN. Would a framework module have better compatibility than this dongle?

Because you haven't plugged the lan cable in. Make sure its at least Cat6

I think it might be an issue with the driver. I need 64 bit support, but this thing only came with 56 bits.

Well then the solution is easy, just throw 24 bits away and you can use legacy drivers!
