This is an improvement for my usb3-to-gigEthernet device from Edimax. Without this diff I have to configure the interface immediately ater plugged in. Now I can wait for 5 min and it still works. Tested device: axen0 at uhub0 port 12 configuration 1 interface 0 "ASIX Elec. Corp. AX88179" rev 3.00/1.00 addr 3 axen0: AX88179, address 74:da:38:49:ed:82 rgephy0 at axen0 phy 3: RTL8169S/8110S/8211 PHY, rev. 5 axen0 detached Remi
