Bug Description

I installed the new LTS kernel of Vivid (Kernel 3.19). Since that time, my USB 3.0 Ethernet connection drops after some time and has to reconnect. This didn't happen before (LTS kernel Utopic 3.16). The drops are happening specially if higher network transfer occurs (for example backup).

I'm using this Ethernet USB adapter: http://www.inateck.com/inateck-hbu3vl3-4-usb3-0-hub-gigabit-ethernet-network-adapter/
This Adapter uses "ASIX AX88179"

It also seems to happen for other devices, for example here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/647500/usb-to-ethernet-asix-ax88772b-stopped-working-after-updates

And I'm also using WiFi next to this adapter. Disabling WiFi didn't help.

I attached some outputs, which may help to find the problem.

Same here with ubuntu 15.10. Connection over LAN is achieved and dropped immediately after. Does not happen with LTS 14.04.
The adapter is a generic USB 3.0 LAN adapter with USB hub 3 ports.
