Just for completeness: earlier this morning I "lost" the eth connection while running on 5.10.7 The laptop is currently connected to the docking station, the eth connection is provided by the docking station. I'm still running on the system, I just disabled via networkmanager the eth connection and I'm relying on the wifi. These are some logs I've just seen on the journal: Jan 18 09:28:03 ganymede kernel: restoring control 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000101/12/11 Jan 18 09:28:03 ganymede kernel: restoring control 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000101/10/5 Jan 18 09:28:02 ganymede kernel: usb 1-2.1.4: reset high-speed USB device number 16 using xhci_hcd Jan 18 09:27:50 ganymede kernel: restoring control 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000101/12/11 Jan 18 09:27:50 ganymede kernel: restoring control 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000101/10/5 Jan 18 09:27:50 ganymede kernel: usb 1-2.1.4: reset high-speed USB device number 16 using xhci_hcd Jan 18 09:27:43 ganymede firefox.desktop[4986]: [ERROR glean_core::upload] Unrecoverable upload failure while attempting to send ping 01c167a3-95b1-4e1f-a9da-e24598c2c538.
