Is there a way to use it on Windows 10 and Windows 7 systems?

The device uses the NCM-Protocol for USB, which is only natively supported since Win11. Before that, you had to use the RNDIS-Protocol. Aparently the latest Windows 10 patches ship with the driver, but disable it by default. I found the following steps to enable the driver manually:

  1. Find the NCM interface device in Device Manager under "Other devices" (it goes under the name "LwIP gateway"
  2. Browse the computer for driver software
  3. Pick from available driver list
  4. Select "Network adapters" as device type
  5. Select "MSFT" manufacturer (it's code for Microsoft), "UsbNcm Host Device" model
  6. Profit

The device name should probably be something like 'ArtNet' or similar, I guess, but I don't have a PC to test those steps.

Probably no way to get NCM working on Win7 though.
