Subject: [PATCH 1/1] r8152: Add Lenovo Powered USB-C Travel Hub
Date: Fri,  8 Jan 2021 21:27:27 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210108202727.11728-2-leon@is.currently.online> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210108202727.11728-1-leon@is.currently.online>

This USB-C Hub (17ef:721e) based on the Realtek RTL8153B chip used to
work with the cdc_ether driver. However, using this driver, with the
system suspended the device sends pause-frames as soon as the receive
buffer fills up. This produced substantial network load, up to the
point where some Ethernet switches stopped processing packets
altogether.

Using the Realtek driver (r8152) fixes this issue. Pause frames are no
longer sent while the host system is suspended.
