USB ethernet adapter drops off during the night #366

Description of the problem

Hiya! First of all, thanks for doing this, very cool to have the ability to add faster connectivity to older devices. :)

I have a DS1019+ that I wanted to give some more bandwidth, so I attached a Realtek 8156B based USB adapter. The instructions worked pretty much, and the link comes up and delivers reasonable performance. The problem is that it drops unexpectedly - either after a certain time, or during the night, maybe when some maintenance routine runs or something?

When that happens the entire network stack seems to be very unhappy, and I can't SSH into the NAS anymore, even if I have one of the Gbit ports connected. The machine still responds to ICMP requests on the other IP, but no SSH, no web UI, which means I have to reboot.

Happy to provide any additional information that may come in handy.

Description of your environment

connected to TP-Link BE85 Cat. 6

Output of dmesg command

dmesg doesn't have anything interesting because I have to reboot every time. I've attached kernel logs that might show something interesting. jan6.txt

It seems that there is something wrong with the USB host stack or at the signal level.

And since geminilake USB is mature and stable on this platform, it may be a device side issue. Can you try another product? Preferably one with RTL8156BG chip.

Also you might find some insights from the Troubleshooting page.

Yeah, I've replaced it with the Club3d one and used this adapter on a different machine, where it's stable. All good, thanks for taking a look!
