Comment # 12 on bug 1180985 from Roger Whittaker

I am seeing something similar to this with a���Dell Precision 5530 connecting via
a WD15 docking station, since upgrading to 5.10.7-1-default.

I have a cron job set up to check connectivity with a ping, and in the logs I
see a usb reset, and then the next time the ping test happens, we see the
failure.

With the system in this state, when I attempted to restart the network. the
command `rcnetwork restart' hung indefinitely.

This has happened twice on consecutive days.

I'm now testing to see whether the kernel boot parameter usbcore.autosuspend=-1
helps stop this happening.
