## Fix usb Ethernet for most adapters:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wget/realtek-r8152-linux/master/50-usb-realtek-net.rules

## Add Touchbar Drivers
### Include in Dracut
add this to **/etc/dracut.conf.d/macbook.conf**
```bash
add_drivers+=" applespi intel_lpss_pci spi_pxa2xx_platform apple-ib-tb "
```

```bash
sudo dnf install dkms
```

### Add driver files to DKMS

cd /tmp
git clone https://github.com/lorre851/macbook12-spi-driver
cd macbook12-spi-driver
sudo dkms add .
```
