When the device is disconnected we get the following messages showing failed operations: Nov 28 20:22:11 localhost kernel: usb 2-3: USB disconnect, device number 2 Nov 28 20:22:11 localhost kernel: ax88179_178a 2-3:1.0 enp2s0u3: unregister 'ax88179_178a' usb-0000:02:00.0-3, ASIX AX88179 USB 3.0 Gigabit Ethernet Nov 28 20:22:11 localhost kernel: ax88179_178a 2-3:1.0 enp2s0u3: Failed to read reg index 0x0002: -19 Nov 28 20:22:11 localhost kernel: ax88179_178a 2-3:1.0 enp2s0u3: Failed to write reg index 0x0002: -19 Nov 28 20:22:11 localhost kernel: ax88179_178a 2-3:1.0 enp2s0u3 (unregistered): Failed to write reg index 0x0002: -19 Nov 28 20:22:11 localhost kernel: ax88179_178a 2-3:1.0 enp2s0u3 (unregistered): Failed to write reg index 0x0001: -19 Nov 28 20:22:11 localhost kernel: ax88179_178a 2-3:1.0 enp2s0u3 (unregistered): Failed to write reg index 0x0002: -19 The reason is that although the device is detached, normal stop and unbind operations are commanded. Avoid these unnecessary operations when the device is detached (state is USB_STATE_NOTATTACHED) so as not to get the error messages.
