What is the easiest way to add a second LAN port to a laptop with Ubuntu and 1 LAN port?
A switch.
Should be under Ubuntu Plug And Play and need no additional drivers.
a router
Linux Hase
And do not need additional drivers
what is that supposed to mean? Of course, for other hardware, another module (you call it a driver) is needed. If you get out which chip is used for the "built-in LAN", then the extra could be "treated" with it. Since the new but only as a USB-LAN stick in the laptop is possible, it may u.U. But there are differences.
I do not see a reason for such a condition. Find a stick that is proven to be suitable for Linux and ready.
Do you want to use the laptop as a router in another LAN?
This one I have, Plug and Play works under Linux:
UGREEN LAN Adapter USB 2.0 Network USB to RJ45 Ethernet Adapter 10 / 100Mbps suitable for Surface Pro 3, MacBook, Rasberry Pi etc. Compatible with Windows 10, Win 8.1, Vista, XP, Mac OS X 10.5, Linux and further supports Wii, Wii U Black https://www.amazon.de/...00MYT481C/
That's the easiest option, I think
(just connect via USB)
