I ran the 5.0.0 kernel, sending data bidirectionally with iperf3.   It
failed after about 10 minutes, I lost the Ethernet and the keyboard/mouse
connected through the TB-10 dock.  Unfortunately I forgot to do an lsusb -v
in the crashed state.

After rebooting, I ran iperf3 again, bidirectionally for an hour.  No
hiccups, no errors.  Talking to two other machines (one transmit/one
receive) the XP 15 maintained 933 Mb/s bidirectional with no dropped
packets for the entire time.  Previously total bidirectional bandwidth was
limited to about 1.3 Gb/s, with a bandwidth varying both transmit and
receive.

How else can I help?
