I encountered the same issue with an Anker USB-C hub+ethernet using the same chipset:
root@ratchett:~# ethtool -i enxa0cec86958e9 driver: ax88179_178a version: 5.19.0-35-generic firmware-version: expansion-rom-version: bus-info: 2-1.4:1.0 supports-statistics: no supports-test: no supports-eeprom-access: yes supports-register-dump: no supports-priv-flags: no Hunting around led me to an upstream kernel bug report: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=212731 One of the comments in there notes that there's an out-of-band fix at https://github.com/nothingstopsme/AX88179_178A_Linux_Driver Using that does seem to have resolved the issue for me - I've chucked some fairly heavy workloads across the network without issue, whereas before starting a simple video call would kill the adapter. Installation steps are: git clone https://github.com/nothingstopsme/AX88179_178A_Linux_Driver.git cd AX88179_178A_Linux_Driver/source make sudo make install sudo reboot ** Bug watch added: Linux Kernel Bug Tracker #212731 https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=212731 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-signed-hwe-5.19 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2012520 Title: USB3 to ethernet adapter stops working (ax88179) Status in linux-signed-hwe-5.19 package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: On a machine with the ax88179 USB3 ethernet adapter, the adapter works poorly. As long as there is a moderate usage of the ethernet connection everything seems to work fine. As soon as the usage pattern changes and a continuous throughput is required (typical case teleconferencing via teams, skype, etc) the adapter stops working and the following line gets repeated many many times in the system logs: ax88179_178a 4-1.4:2.0 eth1: Failed to write reg index 0x0001: -32 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 22.04 Package: linux-image-5.19.0-35-generic 5.19.0-35.36~22.04.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.19.0-35.36~22.04.1-generic 5.19.17 Uname: Linux 5.19.0-35-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: zfs zunicode zavl icp zcommon znvpair ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu82.3 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: unknown CurrentDesktop: KDE Date: Wed Mar 22 15:35:38 2023 EcryptfsInUse: Yes InstallationDate: Installed on 2020-02-16 (1130 days ago) InstallationMedia: Kubuntu 19.10 "Eoan Ermine" - Release amd64 (20191017) SourcePackage: linux-signed-hwe-5.19 UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to jammy on 2022-06-03 (292 days ago) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-signed-hwe-5.19/+bug/2012520/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
