Which mac are you using and what type of adapter is it? Have you tried resetting your PRAM and SMC? Instructions here.

Every time I plug in my usb 3.0 ethernet adapter to my 2015 MBP I have to turn off wifi and then restart my mac to recognize the adapter. It's very annoying to go from class to class restarting every time I plug into the ethernet.

Problem found, uses a Mac, solution, throw away and move to a reasonably priced laptop.

Check for ethernet driver updates maybe?

This is probably the best bet
