This issue was caused by tlp and the USB autosuspend feature. With USB_BLACKLIST="0bda:8153" in /etc/default/tlp the device works very well under Fedora 22. Sorry ...
I have very similar problem (Fedora 26) to this issue, but USB_BLACKLIST="0bda:8153" didn't help [ 121.047525] usb 2-1.1.1: new SuperSpeed USB device number 10 using xhci_hcd [ 121.060841] usb 2-1.1.1: New USB device found, idVendor=0bda, idProduct=8153 [ 121.060846] usb 2-1.1.1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=6 [ 121.060848] usb 2-1.1.1: Product: USB 10/100/1000 LAN [ 121.060850] usb 2-1.1.1: Manufacturer: Realtek [ 121.060852] usb 2-1.1.1: SerialNumber: 001000001 [ 121.085992] r8152 2-1.1.1:2.0: Unknown version 0x6010
