I am using a brand new Dell XPS 13 9370 (developer edition with Ubuntu 18.04) with Dell dock WD15 (which has a RealTek Gigabit ethernet adapter). The wired connection was working on the first day or two after set-up, but now the device is not found and only WiFi is working:



bart@bart:~$ ifconfig -a

There are no wired internet settings available in the Ubuntu GUI either, only wireless settings...

          The solution was to disable ehci_hcd kernel module loading by creating the following file:



          bart@bart:/etc/modprobe.d$ cat blacklist-test.conf
          blacklist ehci_hcd


          I'm not sure exactly why this works, but it fixed my problem.



          If anyone could offer an explanation or comments on side effects of this solution, I would be very grateful!
