- Framework version: Bare motherboard 11th gen Intel® Core™ i7-1165G7
- OS: Unraid 6.1.79
The issue:
I bought an 11th gen motherboard to use as an Unraid server. The problem is that at random the ethernet card will disconnect. I used both the official 2.5G expansion card, and a Ugreen 2.5G dongle I got from Amazon to the same result. At random time the syslog would record something like that:

The key part is the first two lines. The USB port goes to sleep for some reason, and the card disconnects. The ethernet LEDs still glow on it, but there is no connection to the server or registered IP on the network. After that, replugging the dongle won’t wake it up, and even rebooting the server with the power button. Only fully removing power and powering it back up makes the server accessible again.
I saw that this might have been the problem with Framework expansion card, so I tried other dongles: a 2.5G Ugreen, as well as a random USB-C dongle I had lying around, they all behave the same.
I would appreciate the help if you know where to dig.
