Trouble Using Cable Matters USB-C Docking Stations With Fedora on Framework 16

Hi, Everyone,

I love my Framework 16, but I’m having trouble using it with a Cable Matters USB-C docking station. From time to time, the Ethernet disconnects and the second display goes black for a couple of seconds, then spontaneously recovers. This happens with two units.

I’ve been passing power through the docking stations, which I just learned have a 60W maximum. We’ll see if plugging the power supply directly into the computer helps; will follow up with results. In the meantime, advice would be most welcome.

Thanks so much.
