Hi Andrew,

it looks like your (USB) dongle needs to use the r8152 kernel driver,
which is included in the 4.9 kernel image available in ASCII. Are you
on ASCII, aren't you?

network devices have no associated device under /dev (at least in most
of the unix-like systems descending from either BSD or SysV). So you
won't see anything under /dev/.

What you might want to look at is instead:

cat /proc/net/dev

Are you on ASCII or on Jessie?
