[Bug 2092711] Re: USB Ethernet adapter does not show up on boot

I was trying to figure out another problem I ran into while upgrading
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/2092836), which
involved booting between Ubuntu 20.04 and Ubuntu 22.04 a lot. Sometimes,
when booting back to Ubuntu 20.04, the USB Ethernet was not working
(same symptoms as reported - not visible in lsusb) and it needed to be
unplugged. This was always when going from 22.04 -> 20.04, never the
other way around.

My system has been running 20.04 for a few years now. When I initially
said the USB Ethernet worked in 22.04, it's because doing a do-release-
upgrade to 22.04 did not immediately stop it from working. That was the
extent of my 22.04 experience.


Also possibly relevant, I have a USB SATA adapter with a hard disk attached normally (for backup purposes) and according to lsusb, this port is attached to the same hub as the type-C port the USB Ethernet is attached to.

The booting between Ubuntu versions I was doing involved a similar USB
SATA adapter with a SSD (hosting Ubuntu 22.04). The hard disk was not
connected at this time.


My system is currently back on 20.04, but since I figured out the other issue I had, I may try getting it on 22.04 and leaving it there for a while, assuming that the USB Ethernet proves to be reliable.

Title:
USB Ethernet adapter does not show up on boot

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
New

Bug description:
I have a USB Ethernet adapter that worked fine in Ubuntu 20.04, and
22.04, but has stopped working in 24.04.

On boot, lsusb does not show the device at all, and none of the
relevant drivers are loaded into the kernel.

If I unplug the device and re-insert it, then it works, but this is
awfully inconvenient as this should be the primary/only network
interface for this machine.
