[Bug 1439361] Re: USB to Ethernet adapter not working on USB 3 port but OK on USB 2 port

  Thread Previous • Date Previous • • Thread Next 
Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer
to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest
v4.0 kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following
tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag:
'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".


Thanks in advance.

Title:
  USB to Ethernet adapter not working on USB 3 port but OK on USB 2 port

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Hello,

  my new laptop is a Dell XPS 11, with no ethernet port. So I bought an
  USB to Ethernet adapter. It also has two more USB 3 ports. When
  connected on my laptop, I'm unable to acquire an IP through my DHCP,
  but a new network interface is automatically raised. I tried to set
  manually an IP, but I cannot ping any system which normally honors
  ping requests. The surprising point is that when I connect the same
  adapter on an old laptop (Dell E4300), running the same version of
  Ubuntu 14.04 (both systems are fully up-to-date), it perfectly works !
  The only difference I can see is that my old laptop has only USB 2
  ports...

  Additionally, the USB hub works on both computers, and I connected the adapter to 2 desktop computers :
  - one with an additional USB 3 card : it works ;
  - one with embedded USB 3 port : same error as with the modern laptop.

  So it really seems to be a problem related to the way USB 3 is handled
  by Ubuntu 14.04, but perhaps only with some specific chipsets. I
  cannot find what chipset is on the mainboard of my laptop (it is an
  Intel one, for sure, since the CPU is a Core i5-4210Y), but my desktop
  PC as an Intel Z97 chipset.

  Here is what I read tailing kern.log when connecting the adapter. Note the errors near the end :
