Hello everybody,
looks like one of these breaks connectivity on my Thinkpad X250. Just downgraded to linux 4.14.2 to verify.
Can you try the -rc release I just did? It has a fix for this series in it.
It connects with the notebook's built in ethernet port (did not check with 4.14.3) but still fails to see a link when placed in docking station.
Do you have the same issues with 4.15-rc2?
Just a short heads-up and final result for this thread... The issue is fixed with Benjamin's patch:
Any word on getting this patch into Linus's tree anytime soon?
Apparently the intel maintainer was unavailable recently: https://www.mail-archive.com/netdev@vger.kernel.org/msg206192.html
The patch is now in there: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jkirsher/next-queue.git/log/... but that only makes it slated for 4.16 AFAIK.
Jeff, given that this issue breaks networking for many people, wouldn't it be more appropriate to submit the patch for 4.15?
