Thanks, everything you suggested worked. It is strange, I have Android 4.1.1 
on my MK802 IIIs and the setting program handles Ethernet, setting either 
DHCP or static IPs. It has no Ethernet port so we use a USB/Ethernet 
adapter.

On Android_x86 5.1 RC1, I did some probing using Android terminal and 
busybox. Using ifconfig I was able to make IPv6 work and I noticed Rx and Tx 
statistics. But how for IPv4? On Google play I found an old unsupported 
program Ethernet. I ran it and by default set it for DHCP. It recognized the 
Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller and turned off the Atheros AR50007EG. 
Ethernet works good in Android_x86. It allows me to run Microsoft Remote 
Desktop, and work with Network Shares. Oddly, some Android programs refuse 
to use anything but WiFi. It may be a misguided perception of security.

Ethernet does work with Google Play and so it is easy to add more programs.

Cheers.
