I bought this ethernet adapter: USB 3.0 Hub - Techole Aluminum USB Ethernet Adapter Splitter with RJ45 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Network LAN Port - 3 Ports USB 3.0 HUB -Type C Adapter but it seems to freeze my Dell XPS 13 after a short period of time (reproducible).
I would like to find out why this happens but not sure how to go about doing that? Please can I get some assistance on how to diagnose it. It seems to be popular model so not sure why it is not working on my system.
(I tried to post the Amazon link in this post but when submitting the post it says I can’t have links in my post)
I looked in the journal and I see this message:

Also this is the product description from the Amazon site:
Techole Aluminum Alloy 3-Port USB 3.0 Hub and Ethernet adapter：
The 3-Port USB 3.0 and Ethernet Hub offers a simple and practical expansion of three USB 3.0 ports and one RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet connection.
Multifunction:
Connect three more devices to one USB port on your laptop or desktop computer.
The Gigabit Ethernet port can replace failed Ethernet ports on old computers or provide a wired internet connection for newer laptops that are not equipped with an Ethernet port.
Extra USB C Adapter Kit
USB C male to USB A female Adapter helps connecting USB A device ( flash drives, mice, keyboard ) to USB C device ( Macbook pro 2017, Google Chromebook Pixel, Samsung S8, HUAWEI P10, etc.); USB 3.0 can transfer data at a speed of up to 5Gbps, which is 10 times than USB 2.0.
System Supported
Windows 10/8/8.1/7/Vista and Mac 10.6/10.7/10.8/10.9/10.10/10.11/10.12, Linux kernel 3.x/2.6, and Chrome OS (Does not support Windows RT or Android).
Compatibility Devices
Macbook2016, MacBook Pro 13, Lenovo Yoga 900-13ISK, HP Spectre Notebook, ASUS ZenBook3U (ASUS UX390UAK) and other laptops with USB-C port (not all)
Power Usage Alerts:
To ensure a stable connection, don’t use this hub with high power-consumption devices such as some large-capacity hard drives.
This hub is not meant to serve as a stand-alone charger. It is not compatible with iPads or any other devices with irregular charging requirements.
Package Contents
1x Techole 3-port USB 3.0 Hub with RJ45
1 x USB C to USB A 3.1 Adapter
1x Techole User Manual
It says it only supports Kernel 3.x and 2.x but that can’t be right or is out of date.
I think I might need to install r8152-dkms from AUR
Correct me if I am wrong, but this seems to be the adapter you are using right?
Yes I think so. Because when I removed that adapter and running mhwd again it doesn’t appear anymore. I installed that driver I mentioned from AUR but still no luck. It still freezes the system.
try this
first run:
sudo mhwd -a usb free 0200 //if it is still showing as 0200 Ethernet controller.
see if that works
then:
sudo mhwd -a usb nonfree 0200
When running the first command I get
Warning: No config found for device: 2-1.4:1.0 (0200:0bda:8153) Network controller Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8153 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter
Get the same output for the second command as well.
I am continuing to look into this, but here are my thoughts so far:
- A few things could be happening.
** You may need to add some things to your /modprobe.d/blacklist.conf file
** It could also be a power state issue of the card (very in depth. I got a taste of this yesterday).
** Also, could be something completely different from what I have seen.
I just peeked into the logs and I see this

Have you seen this:
ht!tps://www.pcsuggest.com/install-rtl8153-driver-linux/
^ remove !
Downloaded the latest driver. Hit the first problem:
make -C /lib/modules/5.8.3-2-MANJARO/build M=/home/me/Downloads/r8152-2.13.0 modules
make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/lib/modules/5.8.3-2-MANJARO/build'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'modules'. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/lib/modules/5.8.3-2-MANJARO/build'
make: *** [Makefile:24: modules] Error 2
same.
Also what is weird is that when going to the Realtek website I clearly pick the 8153 driver but when it downloads it’s sending down the 8152 driver: h1tps://www.realtek.com/en/component/zoo/category/network-interface-controllers-10-100-1000m-gigabit-ethernet-usb-3-0-software
Try skipping to this part of the PCsuggest page that is linked above:
Add a kernel module rule
and make the file that it is talking about.
Because you know it’s already installed because it is showing up as the driver.
Also, at the beginning of the guide, they state that the 8153 uses the 8152 driver for some reason.
