Hi,
I have recently bought a USB3-Ethernet adapter, that has RTL8153 chip.
I found out that the connection often becomes extremely slow and sometimes, after few hours of usage, it's impossible to suspend or poweroff the machine.
I haven't found anything suspicious in logs.
When searching the Internet for any clues I've only found that there were problems with autosuspend[1], which is now disabled by default (I've checked with powertop) or some general unsolved issues[2].
While I don't mind that much having to replug the device once in a while, it's really a big issue if I can't suspend the system.
Does anyone know where should I report this issue and how to gather more meaningful info?

First, there is an outside chance that r8152 may not even be getting loaded; apparently at one time cdc_ether got loaded instead as the default. Worth a check. Modinfo for r8152 on Leap 15.0 shows the upstream kernel driver version 1.09.09. There are newer vendor supplied versions, current is 2.12. Here is a 2-yr old discussion thread from the kernel driver team about the versions and drivers; this post sounds like it may be your specific problem. At that time there was no resolution. https://marc.info/?l=linux-usb&m=151205643306902&w=2 But now there is a 2.12 driver on github with most recent commit date May 16 so maybe it made it to upstream in a newer kernel??? https://github.com/wget/realtek-r8152-linux You can also get 2.12 from realtek (or 2.10 source for compiling), following this link: https://plugable.com/drivers/rtl-ethernet/ hth, --dg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org
