dmesg

1. Please describe the problem:

Dell DA200 (USB-C Thunderbolt adapter) has a Realtek R8153 Ethernet interface, uses r8152 driver.
The connection works in Windows with the same machine so it's not a hardware issue.
Machine: Dell XPS 9560.
The interface shows up in Network Manager, but finds no link.

dmesg:
[  107.397788] usb 4-1.1: new SuperSpeed Gen 1 USB device number 3 using xhci_hcd

I read that it may be a power management issue, but blacklisting the device in TLP or even creating an udev rule didn't help.

ethtool (with Ethernet cable connected to router):

I wonder why auto-negotiation is off and ethtool -s enp62s0u1u1 autoneg on doesn't turn it on apparently.

ifconfig:

2. What is the Version-Release number of the kernel:
5.0.17-300.fc30.x86_64

3. Did it work previously in Fedora? If so, what kernel version did the issue
   *first* appear?  Old kernels are available for download at
   https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=8 :
The last reports of a working DA200 on the Internet were for kernel 4 so they don't tell much.

4. Can you reproduce this issue? If so, please provide the steps to reproduce
   the issue below:
Plug in the dock. The Ethernet green connection LED stays on, the other is flashing, then stops flashing.
(HDMI, USB etc. are all working fine)

5. Does this problem occur with the latest Rawhide kernel? To install the
   Rawhide kernel, run ``sudo dnf install fedora-repos-rawhide`` followed by
   ``sudo dnf update --enablerepo=rawhide kernel``:
Couldn't test it, I get a GPG key error when trying to update. :(

6. Are you running any modules that not shipped with directly Fedora's kernel?:
No

7. Please attach the kernel logs. You can get the complete kernel log
   for a boot with ``journalctl --no-hostname -k > dmesg.txt``. If the
   issue occurred on a previous boot, use the journalctl ``-b`` flag.

Comment 1 Gergely Gombos 2019-05-25 16:32:33 UTC
I got a solution for the issue, applying a usbcore quirk kernel parameter:
usbcore.quirks=0bda:8153:k
which activates USB_QUIRK_NO_LPM flag.

I took the idea from a Surface Dock hardware solution: https://github.com/jakeday/linux-surface/issues/259#issuecomment-450585243
For that hardware, a kernel patch is on the way containing the quirk parameter.

But this is not a power-connected dock so turning off LPM for the Ethernet adapter may not be a correct solution, just a workaround?

See also: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=919656

What do you think, what could be the correct course of action?

*********** MASS BUG UPDATE **************

We apologize for the inconvenience.  There are a large number of bugs to go through and several of them have gone stale.  Due to this, we are doing a mass bug update across all of the Fedora 30 kernel bugs.

Fedora 30 has now been rebased to 5.2.9-200.fc30.  Please test this kernel update (or newer) and let us know if you issue has been resolved or if it is still present with the newer kernel.

If you have moved on to Fedora 31, and are still experiencing this issue, please change the version to Fedora 31.

If you experience different issues, please open a new bug report for those.

Comment 3 Gergely Gombos 2019-08-26 07:37:20 UTC
I tested it. The issue still persists with kernel 5.2.9-200.fc30, usbcore quirks mode is still needed for this device.

Closing this as I no longer have the device.
