Title:
cdc_ncm floods syslog unneccessarily
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Upon plugging in a USB adapter for NBase-T ethernet with an Realtek
chip RTL8156 the kernel module cdc_ncm starts flooding /var/log/syslog
with unneccessary status info.
The status lines either say that there's no ethernet link or show the

without ethernet link read like this:
