Same experience with a bunch of Aquantia AQC-107 (ASUS XG-C100C). Had to remove them from a Linux server, it just won't work and botch IPv6 traffic (especially routing advertisement notices ?!). Got Intel x550t2 and all the issues miraculously disappeared.

I have this controller, and I was able to mostly workaround the dying issue by having a cron script ping a network device every minute, and when that fails it restarts the link - `ip l set enp70s0 down; sleep 6; ip l set enp70s0 up`.

But that's acceptable only because that machine has a workload which can tolerate not having network access for a few minutes per day or so.

Damn that’s nasty. I wish there was a way to flag known issues on every product that contains garbage chips like this.
