Hello! Is igc ethernet the only device which does not work after resume?
Or do you have also more devices to test and check for this issue?

I'm asking it just because to know if we are dealing with one device or
there are lot of more. Because if it is just one device then it could be
better to disable AER only for one targeted device instead of all. Error
reporting is a feature which may help to detect broken HW unit and be useful.

Could you try to manually enable AER on Windows (via touching PCIe
config registers) if Windows can trigger this issue too, or not?
