@juergh > This commit is in Ubuntu 6.8.0-40.40. Which kernel are you running?
Exactly this one, 6.8.0-40.40. Actually I run LinuxMint 21, which is based on Ubuntu 22.04 and uses Ubuntu-jammy repositories (particularly jammy-backports). I have checked, does the issue presents right now and made sure that it is still here. It took 4 warm reboots and 3 cold ones, to catch "cable disconnected" situation, but finally I did it. @philcox > It looks like the upstream patches required does include the one you noted, > but one other one as well. So, you mean that the next kernel package will contain the fix? It would be great. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-hwe-6.8 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2077823 Title: AX88179_178a USB-ethernet adapter not always initializes properly with the kernel 6.8 Status in linux-hwe-6.8 package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: After upgrading the kernel packages to version 6.8 I encounter the following issue. My ax88179_178a-based USB-ethernet adapter sometimes does not initialize properly on the system boot. Approximately one time of five it comes up with the status "link down' ("link not detected"). Checking the physical connectivity shows no problems. Unplugging/plugging the cable does not help. Reloading the kernel module does help, i.e. after: sudo modprobe -r ax88179_178a && sudo modprobe ax88179_178a the link comes up and the problem goes away (until the moment when it appears again five or six reboots later). The issue is apparently sourced from here: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240523130330.215273...@linuxfoundation.org/ And it is probably solved already in the kernel 6.9.7: https://lwn.net/Articles/979848/ It would be nice, if you backport the solution into Ubuntu 6.8 kernel (if I am right and this indeed is a solution).
