There are finally real USB3 (not Thunderbolt, not USB4 PCIe Tunneling) 10GbE NICs!

RTL8159 chipset-based, it uses the generic cdc_ncm driver on Linux.
Also seems to work on macOS and iOS.

TCP throughput between GPD Pocket 4 and MacBook Pro M1 seems a bit low at ~6.2 GBit/s, but that might also be due to the connected devices (both sides are using the same adapter).
I don't have another 10GBit/s device here right now, sorry.

Don't have a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 device, so I can't test the full speed!

Also seems to work well on an iPhone 15 Pro via USB-C:

Roughly ~4 GBit/s isn't the fastest network device I've ever seen, but well... (might also be limited by the iperf3 app at this point)
