I am looking for ethernet over USB for windows 7/8/10 to/from windows 7/8/10 (VMware/Xen physical to vm) ; windows to/from linux (VMware/Xen physical to vm); bds to from linux (iSCSI application).
I was hoping the usb file transfer cables could do the job nicely. USB 2.0 is adequate. I see USB 3.0 transfer cables are coming on market.
It looks like the same chip family (USB 2 Host-to-Host bridge) Prolific PL-25A1 is used in most if not all the the cables.
What I need are USB drivers that RNDIS can find and use as ethernet ports.
Does anyone know of any drivers for these cables/chips?

I am having trouble getting a datasheet on this chip. Anyone know where to get a copy?

They may have a network driver for this chipset, or another cable that would work for your scenario.
