USB Ethernet adapter refusing to work on Ubuntu Server

OS: Ubuntu Server 20.04.5 LTS
Hardware: A laptop with i7-6500U & 16GB DDR4 1600

So I have this USB ethernet adapter, "VMAX VIA100 USB3.0 to RJ45". It works on every device other than this device. I have no idea what to try anymore

Info:

• Doing the lsusb command -

Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0bda:8153 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8153 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter

(The adapter is clearly detected)

• lsmod | grep r8152

   r8152                  69632  0
   mii                    20480  2 usbnet,r8152

• lshw -class network

• sudo ip link set enx00e04c07002e up

It does enable itself, but after reboot disabled itself again.

• cat /etc/netplan/*.yaml

I've checked the Ethernet cable, no issues there. I could find no working solutions online. Help would be appreciated.
