I have a second usb network card (chip ax88179) conected to my C4.

It randomly  crashes and I have to rmmod/modprobe to make it work again : can't be done remotely without network...

 

Looks like this kind of problem is kernel related : any idea ?

adding kernel version

according syslog (armibian monitor) and my network topology, it seems to be due to a network loop.
