Realtek 8152 USB3 ethernet causing all usb3 to disconnect

For diagnostic purposes, what is the output of the commands (after plugging that device in and waiting a minute):

uname -a
lsb_release -crid
sudo lshw -C network
dmesg | tail -n 30

I will provide that information right after I type this so that I can not have to use my laptop keyboard. I've found out how to replicate it from scratch (with the device working).

1. Disable ethernet from network manager.
2. Reboot with device plugged in
3. After logging in, unplug device.
4. Plug device back in.

After these steps, I'm not able to plug in the device without seeing the issues I was noticing earlier.

Here are the results of those commands.

Instead of disabling the ethernetfix in Ubuntu you can do it in the BIOS. Does that create the same result?
