Ok,

this already answers a question I had before.
So in this case I think it is very likely that you have a bad connection
between Keyboard-Dongle-NIC port. The connection between dongle and NIC port
is the most likely candidate because the NIC port is not that robust.
So the best solution would be to go for a SER-001 and maybe there is a
chance to re-solder the NIC port.

Cheers
Johannes
