U4919DW, USB-C doesn't provide Ethernet
Has anyone tried to use the USB-C port to carry Ethernet through the USB-C? I was so happy to only have one cable going to my laptop, but super frustrated I have to run my laptop on WiFi.

* The online U4919DW User's Guide shows us that port 5 USB-C provides "USB Power Delivery, Data, and DisplayPort video signal". There is no mention of Ethernet
* Ports 6-1 and 6-2 USB Type-B upstream (enable PC communication with all USB Type-A downstream ports when connected to PC USB Type-A port using the provided USB Type-B to USB Type-A cable)
* Ports 7-1, 7-2, 7-3, 7-4, 7-5 USB Type-A downstream

Basically, I had this really nice(expensive) dell doc station, that handled all my peripherals including ethernet, and only had to plug one wire into my computer. but I had to have 2 of these for my work computer and my personal computer, plus a KVM switch. When I purchased this monitor I was excited about the KVM capabilities. But because it doesn't handle ethernet, now I have to either bring back all those wires and re-purchase the dock stations. or suffer over wifi. I was hoping that the upstream usbC might handle ethernet. Dell got so close with this monitor but then left out that little critical piece.
