Looks like the USB ID of the dock's network interface is removed in the r8152 driver since 4.10+, and should be handled by the cdc_ether driver, which doesn't work because it's blocked in that driver.
Someone on reddit gave me this information (see: https://www.reddit.com/r/SurfaceLinux/comments/860cuy/regressions_dock_ethernet_r8152_intel_pstate_with/dw1uxlo/?context=3). Maybe it got pushed upstream: https://github.com/jakeday/linux-surface/pull/9 Haven't tried a newer kernel yet, maybe with Ubuntu 18.04 LTS the situation changed, or will change with the first point release of 18.04 when also a newer kernel of 16.04 LTS will be available. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1742922 Title: no connection anymore with r8152 on 4.13.0-26 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-hwe/+bug/1742922/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
