Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter not showing up when hotplugged
by SukkoPera from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5AKYS)
I've been using Slackware on my 2013 MacBook Pro Retina (MacBookPro11,1) since day one. I've been following -current most of the time and it's always worked very well.
The only annoying issue I've been having is with my Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter, first on and off, then off for a while (but I hadn't been applying updates for some time), and now it seems it's here to stay. It works perfectly fine if I plug it in *before* the OS boots but then, if I unplug it and plug it back in (or just plug it in whenever the machine has been turned on without it being plugged in since the OS started up), eth0 won't show up again. The annoying thing is that it *is* detected by the kernel, but the interface won't appear again.
This is still happening as of today's updates. Some information:
