I was just wondering if there are already any news from your lab in Israel with the similar HP system. And if the issue can be reproduced there... Another thought of mine was, if it wouldn't it be useful to have a kernel commandline switch (or thunderbolt module option) that allows the user to select whether the software connection manager should be used, or the firmware connection manager (if avialable)? I understand that in general using the sw connection manager is favorable because the OS then has control over the connection, but maybe there are use cases where letting the firmware doing the job is just fine (like in my case ;-) Thanks and best regards, Christian
