I consistently had similar problems with my 0x17ef/0x3066 "ThinkPad
Thunderbolt 3 Dock MCU", but they went away after I forced it to
use the if_cdce driver instead with this quirk:

         /* This works much better with if_cdce than if_ure */
         USB_QUIRK(LENOVO, TBT3LAN,  0x0000, 0xffff, UQ_CFG_INDEX_1),

AFAIK it is only a workaround.  I saw it myself on number of different USB dongles and laptops, that USB starting experience some problems with multiple NIC queues and some other factors. IIRC the Realtek driver was much more stable once I limited it to one queue and some other hacks. IIRC if_cdce just has only one queue and other limitations, that not only makes it more stable, but also much slower.  It would be good to understand what's wrong is there exactly, since IMHO it is a big problem now. Unfortunately HPS was unable to reproduce it on his laptop (that makes me wonder if is is specific to chipset(s) or thunderbolt?), so it ended nowhere so far.

I have a Lenovo USB 3 dongle, so no thunderbolt.

USB ID 0x17ef/0x7205

rgephy1: <RTL8251/8153 1000BASE-T media interface> PHY 0 on miibus1

I tried using the cdce driver, it gives me < 100Mb/s, while the ure driver gets > 500Mb/s
