Yep basically the nic doesn't work with the Asmedia 1042.
Not only that though, I moved to a SandyBridge platform and...

Hello guys,
Currently i've done this in xhci-pci.c
#define PCI_VENDOR_ID_RENESAS 0x1912
#define PCI_DEVICE_ID_RENESAS_UPD720201 0x0014

I experienced the following WARN with a Renesas uPD720201 controller :

XHCI_TRUST
Adding the XHCI_NEC_HOST quirk solved the issue.
It's possible that this doesn't apply to all Renesas hosts, however it appears
they only
Ok it appears I was wrong about the NEC quirk.
Here is what i'm seeing at the moment:
The ax88179 is only working for me on the Renesas uPD720201 via a USB 3.0 HUB.
However for some reason once I use the hub I get :
xhci_hcd :02:00.0: WARN Successful completion on short TX: needs
ok so the nic died even via the hub now it looks like certain traffic does it.
reverting the fragment patch didnt help.
argh.

Downloaded and compiled the r8168 driver from the Realtek website.
Problem appears to be solved.
One other thing, off Asix's website the driver there for the ax88179 has two
extra module parameters for bulk transfers, one for buffer size the other for
timing. When I was playing around I did

At this point it just looks like I have 2 problems:

if it was ip fragments or something causing the issue or what but everything

An update, iommu=pt made no difference in the end the system still came down
eventually.

Hello,
This will be the last post from me on this, at least for a while, out of my
depth with this stuff.
I have Linus' tree up and running with patches recommended by Sarah.
1. Disable scatter-gather for the ax88179_178a driver when it's under an
xHCI host.
2. Revert the following
The patch did prevent the whole system from crashing but I have to unplug and

Hello,
I am someone who has been struggling to get an ax88179 net adapter working
reliably.
I have an integrated Asmedia 1042 xhci controller that is reportedly version

chipset.
The big issue I am currently
just to add I have a vantec 2 bay usb 3.0 disk dock that has appeared to
