 I've got an M1 MacBook Pro which has a USB-hub Ethernet adaptor to give
wired network to the modem-router, but it has lost that connection.
Nothing I do seems to get it working again. I've tried multiple cables,
checked the USB adaptor still works proeprly with USB-A devices, tried
adding a new Location, deleting and re-adding network services, etc.
The USB 10/100/1000 LAN is visible in the Network System Settings, but
no internet/network connectivity works.

 I had hit and miss with Ethernet adaptors too.
Nowadays I use only wireless with my MacBooks.
If it HAS to be Ethernet then I guess you need to try another adaptor.

I think the adaptor is okay. It was working fine for a long time, then suddenly lost the connection one day. An OS update perhaps?
I did get it working again once when tweaking the system settings, but it stopped working again the next day after shutting the computer down overnight.
It would be an expensive exercise to keep buying a new adaptor until eventually finding one that works.  :o(
