Ah.. This would be PREEMPT_RT. No RTAI at least for awhile.
Well, with that being said I'll grab the usual suspects for wired USB NICs (no WiFi dongles supported due to no WiFi support enabled in distribution package options)
To include:
USB_RTL8150
USB_RTL8152
USB_LAN78XX / Microchip LAN78XX Based USB Ethernet Adapters
USB_NET_AX8817X / ASIX AX88xxx Based USB 2.0 Ethernet Adapters
USB_NET_AX88179_178A / ASIX AX88179/178A USB 3.0/2.0 to Gigabit Ethernet
USB_NET_CDCETHER / CDC Ethernet support (smart devices such as cable modems)
USB_NET_CDC_EEM / CDC EEM support
USB_NET_CDC_NCM / CDC NCM support
From my memory, a lot of USB wired NICs are at least one of those.
If anyone's USB NIC doesn't work, just post your `lsmod` with your USB NIC plugged into a Debian system and I'll throw it in the config, if it isn't WiFi.
Cheers!

I am pretty sure that this is what is used in the "Wi-Pi" dongles sold for the Raspberry Pi, and those are generally a good choice for Linux compatibility.
But trying a bunch of random dongles I also seem to have:
Ralink Technology, Corp. RT2870/RT3070 Wireless Adapter
Broadcom Corp. BCM43143 802.11bgn (1x1) Wireless Adapter
and another Ralink Technology, Corp. RT5370 Wireless Adapter
Please let me know of any missing features or problems. The kernel is not as generic as the Debian kernel but should give better performance and lower latency. The installer and the Gentoo image has not been extensively tested on various hardware, I expect there to be a few gotchas here and there.
I just ran through this thread's history and noted you are including qtpyvcp.
Now they have their own repository, you might also like to just include the repository sources, rather than building the full code.
Also Ethercat has its own repositiories now and I packaged the linuxcnc ethercat driver in my Debian 12 installer
You might like to review hooks 050, 0520, 0530 in my installer.
