Trying rmmod r8169 && modprobe r8169 doesn't seem to work:

Everything is working marvelously, but from time to time the ethernet port on the docking station won't connect. I've discovered the following messages in my dmesg: [ 400.597506] r8152 5-1.1:1.0 enx482ae3a2a6f0: Tx status -71 [ 401.164370] r8152 5-1.1:1.0 enx482ae3a2a6f0: Tx status -71 [ 463.168412] r8152 5-1.1:1.0 enx482ae3a2a6f0: Tx status -71 [ 465.314415] r8152 5-1.1:1.0 enx482ae3a2a6f0: Tx status -71 [ 529.409871] r8152 5-1.1:1.0 enx482ae3a2a6f0: Tx status -71 [ 533.718163] r8152 5-1.1:1.0 enx482ae3a2a6f0: Tx status -71 [ 591.168537] r8152 5-1.1:1.0 enx482ae3a2a6f0: Tx status -71 [ 594.335383] r8152 5-1.1:1.0 enx482ae3a2a6f0: Tx status -71 Rebooting the machine doesn't seem to work, turning the ethernet connection off and on doesn't seem to work. I have a dualboot Linux+Windows (one wants to play games from time to time :-p ) and it could be that rebooting from Win to Lin causes this issue, but this needs to be confirmed yet. I will try to power off the computer and/or the docking station, to see whether that would help. I've found numerous bug reports, but they are rather old or may not apply to this situation, therefore I figured it's best to open a new bug report. Thank you so much for your hard work!
