      With respect to usb/140883 (axe driver in 8.x is unhappy),  Pyun YongHyeon provided

      Which unlike what's being shipped currently appears to not go offline after several hours. I built my own kernel, but you might consider shipping this, at least until it hits upstream, such that other people who need a usb ethernet don't have to fuss with this like I did.

            Pyun has updated the drivers in the same location to remove the remaining issues. Of note, the driver in 8.1 used buffers larger than the chipset supported for transmit; the one previously provided as a patch fixed that but combining frames into even the correct-sized transmit buffer is still unreliable.

            The updated driver avoids transmitting more than a single packet per buffer, and is thus stable.

              A final, correct fix just went in
