Hello,
in my new laptop, which I've been given by my university, dmesg is flooded with output from something related to my ethernet device connected to the pc via usbc (the card is inside a docking station). There is so much output, with new lines every few seconds, that all other dmesg output is cut and I cannot analyse anything. This is an example of the output I'm getting in dmesg:
Code:

where enxd481d722c5d2 is the ethernet card in the docking station. Every now and then there is a similar line coming from the wireless card as well.
Can anybody help me to figure out what this output is, if it's a problem (and hence how to solve it) or how to suppress it if it's not related to an issue? Thanks everyone in advance.
