I might have the same issue, I'm not sure. I have a Ubuntu 19.04 server
with an onboard e1000e interface and a usb ax88179_178a interface,
routing traffic between the two.

The e1000e interface drops a couple of times a day and I see "Detected
Hardware Unit Hang" / "Reset adapter unexpectedly" messages in syslog. I
don't know what triggers that, there's no significant traffic in my
graphs.

I can trigger the e1000e to drop reliably, but the trigger doesn't make
sense:

I can send as much traffic as I want from ax88179_178a through e1000e
and vice versa. I can send as much traffic as I want to the server
itself from the e1000e. If I send any moderate amount of traffic to the
server from the ax88179_178a, then the e1000e drops. For example, apt-
get will cause the e1000e to drop.

The server is fine, the ax88179_178a is fine, the apt-get or wget or
whatever will complete and eventually my TCP session will usually
recover after the e1000e resets. If the files are large enough, this may
happen several times. It doesn't seem to matter if it's writing to disk
or to /dev/null.

I have swapped out the switch, the cable, and the USB ethernet interface
(both for another ax88179_178a and some other chipset I don't remember.)
I have tried kernels from the mainline ppa. I have tried every
combination of ethtool knob-twiddling. No luck.

The issue first appeared for me after upgrading from 18.04.
