I have a Dell TB16 dock with Ethernet over USB, based on a Realtek 8152 chip.

The device appears fine in sys-usb VM using r8152 driver and ehci/xhci. So it 
works fine with direct PCI access to the device.

Connecting the usb device (via 'dom0$ qvm-usb attach...') to sys-net VM triggers loading 
of vhci. After some dmesg says "cannot enable. Maybe the usb cable is bad?" and 
the device does not work in sys-net VM.

Blacklisting/disabling vhci-hcd in sys-net VM does not help (connecting fails 
immediately). Does qubes usb attaching require vhci?

I upgraded dom0/vm kernels, BIOS -> no help.

The dock worked fine on this computer using bare-metal Ubuntu with equal kernel 
version.

I would like to avoid merging sys-usb and sys-net...

Thanks for any hint.

You could leave the ethernet adapter in sys-usb, and use "qvm-prefs sys-usb provides_network true". Then you should be able to point sys-firewall to sys-usb as needed.
