    I have a "syncwire" USB-C ethernet dongle for my M2 MBP which works
    great except whenever the mac goes to sleep it disconnects and won't re-connect until I physically unplug/replug it.

    Anyone else had this and is there a solution?

    This isn't a massive issue as I mostly use wifi, but on the odd occasion
    I am in an environment where a wired connection is the best/only option.

    I’ve had issues using the usb-c hubs widgets with built in Ethernet causing issues (one even caused Wi-Fi to disconnect too) - affected both my iPad
    Pro and the MacBook Pro. So obviously down to rubbish design in the hubs.

    I got a couple of plain USB-A style ethernet adapters off Amazon, and
    they’re fine.

    It was a ‘Maxesla 1000M USB to Ethernet Adapter’, but currently unavailable. Perhaps a UGreen (they seem to get good ratings for their
    stuff) or similar.
