Thanks @gnwii, although I think that the issue that I'm experiencing is different - the rest of my house has internet connectivity, just not my MacBook :/

@JackStetaro - I was able to get the interface to appear on my list after I rebooted my MacBook Air M1, which has macOS Monterey installed. After this reboot, as well as after a manual disconnection and reconnection of the the dongle that I use, the driver loaded correctly, detected the cable properly and was working fine. I'm still experiencing an issue with this interface after my MacBook wakes up from standby: Initially the network adapter appears in MacOS as "not connected" After a minute the network adapter appears as "connected", but my MacBook is unable to get any internet connection - all connections just appear to be stuck / hanging. Again, when I manually disconnect and reconnect my dongle or reboot my MacBook the problem is resolved.
