Indeed, its probably not the kernel as I suggested before, see below. > > > > > dmesg: > > > > > > > > > [ 899.522306] usbcore: registered new device driver r8152- > > > cfgselector > > > [ 899.601295] r8152-cfgselector 2-1.3: reset SuperSpeed USB > > > device number 4 using xhci_hcd > > > [ 927.789526] r8152 2-1.3:1.0: firmware: direct-loading firmware > > > rtl_nic/rtl8156b-2.fw > > > [ 942.033905] r8152 2-1.3:1.0: load rtl8156b-2 v2 04/27/23 > > > successfully > > Someone reports there is an error message when loading rtl8156b-2 v2 > 04/27/23. > r8152 6-1:1.0: ram code speedup mode fail > I don't find the same message for you.

Yes, I'll do that, but strangely enough the error has disappeared since then. I played with the setup yesterday a little more. The NIC is actually built into my monitor, which is always powered on - so regardless if my laptop connected or not, the NIC is probably on. I rebooted to Windows, and then rebooted to Linux, and magically the bug just disappeared.
