Hello José,
I'm testing on the 6.6 kernel with a "0b95:1790 ASIX Electronics Corp.
AX88179 Gigabit Ethernet" device.
after applying commit 56f78615bcb1 ("net: usb: ax88179_178a: avoid
writing the mac address before first reading")
the network will no longer work after brining the device down.
After plugging in the device, it generally will work with ifconfig:
$ ifconfig eth0 <ip address>
However, if I then try bringing the devcie down and back up, it no longer works.
$ ifconfig eth0 down
$ ifconfig eth0 <ip address>
$ ethtool eth0 | grep detected
Link detected: no
The link will continue to report as undetected.
If I revert 56f78615bcb1 the device will work after bringing it down
and back up.
If I build at commit d7a319889498 ("net: usb: ax88179_178a: avoid two
consecutive device resets") and its
parent d7a319889498^ these also work.
Is this something you have seen before with your test devices?
Regards,
Jeff
