Questions & Answers for Apple USB Ethernet Adaptor

Yes, this does allow you to have multiple ethernet interfaces active at the same time. I have, on occasion, had cause to bridge three networks by using the built-in ethernet and a couple of these devices. My only word of caution is that if you have more than one plugged in it is sometimes difficult tell which device is which. The USB Ethernet Adapter does not have it's MAC address printed on it so if you just plug two of them in and go to Network Preferences you don't see which ethernet interface is in which USB slot.

As long as you can read usb ports on the Windows side. Then download a driver for Windows if not provided in Boot Camp.

It depends: It will do if you are using VMWare which allows this. I haven't seen any options to VLAN tag the native OS interface.
