Perfect - thanks for following up.

BTW, can you please update the version number to match adding RTL8153 support?
Makes life easier for anyone maintaining older kernels.

It's labeled "Realtek USB 3.0 Gigabit Ethernet" externally. I'm not
sure if we got these from Samsung or directly from RealTek.

What's notable is this device has no link or activity LEDs visible.
Normally I'd expect those near the RJ45 port.

Also no MAC address or serial number or anything to further identify
the devices. just the "rectangular black plastic" enclosure with a
silver sticker carrying the Realtek logo + text.

I don't think it's a r8152 or r815x driver issue either. It's much
more likely related to chromeos-3.8 USB NET patches not matching 3.14
kernel behaviors.

Please don't pursue further. Unless I have a good reason to debug
chromeos-3.8 kernel, I'd rather not. If I have problems with 3.12 or
later kernels, I'd be more motivated and will pester you again. :)

Thanks!
