http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1197477 http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1197477#c4 --- Comment #4 from Josua Mayer <josua.m@t-online.de> --- I do have a hint: There is an external USB-3.0 Hub with integrated ethernet which is functional. Curiously it reports the exact same device id for the network interface, yet rather than cdc_ncm it binds to r8152! So something, someone somewhere decides whether 0bda:8153 will use r8152 or not ... Here is the dmesg and lsusb: Bus 004 Device 005: ID 0bda:8153 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8153 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter Bus 004 Device 004: ID 0bda:0411 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
