I'm currently using a USB-C dock with a realtek 8153 and it
it was so flakey it was impossible to use.

After I switched to the cdce driver, it has worked flawlessly.

As you can see in the file, I previously had the same experience
also with a Lenovo branded Dock's ethernet.

I guess it may be necessary to specialize the quirk entry further ?

My device is:

	ugen0.3: <RTL8153 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter Realtek Semiconductor Corp.> at usbus0, cfg=1 md=HOST spd=SUPER (5.0Gbps) pwr=ON (46mA)

	  bLength = 0x0012 
	  bDescriptorType = 0x0001 
	  bcdUSB = 0x0320 
	  bDeviceClass = 0x0000  <Probed by interface class>
	  bDeviceSubClass = 0x0000 
	  bDeviceProtocol = 0x0000 
	  bMaxPacketSize0 = 0x0009 
	  idVendor = 0x0bda 
	  idProduct = 0x8153 
	  bcdDevice = 0x31fd 
	  iManufacturer = 0x0001  <Realtek>
	  iProduct = 0x0002  <USB 10/100/1000 LAN>
	  iSerialNumber = 0x0007  <DF1300E04C581A90>
	  bNumConfigurations = 0x0002
