I have a Deltaco USB 3.0 hub which I've connected a Thinkpad USB 3.0 Ethernet Adapter.

When I boot, or wake, my MacBook Pro (late 2013) won't detect the network interface to be connected at all. I have to re-plug it on the Deltaco USB hub, and 3-5 seconds later I'm up and running.

What I'm wondering is how do I fix this?

While I'm at it, since I use an Apple server for setting date & time, my clock is skewed by +2 hours (I assume it's displaying the wrong timezone or something) when booting. Is there any way to fix this (unless there's a solution to my first question)?

    From my experience, the only USB <> Ethernet adaptors which have very few, if any, problems are Apple branded. Some adaptors flat out don't work; some fail randomly. Having a hub in the chain may also be problematical. The USB <> Ethernet adaptor might work better in a dedicated USB port on the MBP. As for the skewed time, make sure you uncheck the 'Set time zone automatically....' checkbox in the Date & Time System Preference, change the time zone to something random, QUIT System Preferences, go back to Date & Time and set the timezone manually. This may flush out some corrupt prefs.

About the time issue. It was due to dual booting into Windows.

This guide will help you fix it.
