Hi,
I have a very basic home server made from a very cheap hp desktop. It has a proprietary motherboard which only supports 100Mbits\s on the Ethernet adapter and no available pci slots for any sort of expansion.. So I decided to buy a Gigabit Ethernet Adapter since it does have 2 USB3.1 on the back! I had some problems since ubuntu wasn't automatically starting the card up, don't no why, but now it runs fine. That is until the pc is restart, where the card seems to hang and ubuntu cant initialize it nor can I do it manually with ifconfig <card> up. I really have to unplug it and plug it back in for it to work. This is quite annoying since every time the pc needs to restart/loses power I have to physically go there and resolve it. Any one had similar experiences?
The ethernet adaptar is also a hub with 3 extra USB3.1 ports which I though was a good idea but don't know if it is interfering or not. I also have an external hard drive connected to the other USB3.1 port an it mounts on boot using fstab without any problems.
This is the output of "lshw -class network" referent to the new card:

Also, I'm running Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS, 4.15.0-66-generic
Thanks in advance!
