I'm using a Plugable USB3-HUB3ME Gigabit Ethernet Adapter with 3 Port USB 3.0 Hub which is build around the ASIX AX88179 and VIA VL812 chipsets. While the harddrive works well on the USB 3.0 hub, the gigabit ethernet regularly stops working after a short while or under bigger load. There are no related messages in /var/log/syslog but when I un-plug and re-plug the ethernet cable after the network stopped working, I get the following messages:

Jan 16 22:49:36 *** kernel: [ 1755.845627] [c0] ax88179_178a 4-1.1:1.0 eth2: ax88179 - Link status is: 0
Jan 16 22:49:39 *** kernel: [ 1758.405614] [c0] ax88179_178a 4-1.1:1.0 eth2: ax88179 - Link status is: 1

Some basic functionality seems to be still available. But it does not reconnect.

I ran the odroid utility to update kernel, firmware, etc. but no change. At the same time the built-in ethernet works fine.
