Hello,
The Plugable USBC-E2500 USB Ethernet adapter seems to feature a RTL8156B chip. When connected, if_cdce is loaded by default. Unfortunately, I am unable to see the link speed which was negotiated:
The if_ure kernel module seems to also support the RTL8156B chip, and I would like to test that driver instead. Is there a way to blacklist if_cdce without compiling a custom kernel? I've already tried unloading and renaming if_cdce.ko to something different. Even when if_ure is loaded in to the kernel, it does not seem to detect the device. I am running 13.1-RELEASE-p3.
