 Thanks a lot for the prompt reply with a patch. 
  
 Unfortunately that patch does not seem to help. I've cross-checked 
 several times that the patch is really applied: 
  
 # uname -a 
 Linux XXXXX-mgmt-gw-XXXXXX 5.10.0-0.a.test-arm64 #1 SMP Debian 5 
 10.244-1a~test (2025-10-23) aarch64 
  
 $ fgrep usbnet-Report-link-up-even-when-the-interface-is-not.patch 
 linux_5.10.244-1a~test_arm64.build 
 File series fully applied, ends at patch test/0001-usbnet-Report 
 link-up-even-when-the-interface-is-not.patch 
  
 But we still the same symptoms: 
  
 # ip l 
 1: lo:  mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode 
 DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 
     link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 
 2: eth0:  mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP mode 
 DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 
     link/ether e4:5f:01:3d:98:95 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 
 3: eth1:  mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state 
 DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 
           ^^^^^^^^^^ 
 ^^^^^^^^^^ 
 link/ether 2c:f7:f1:1b:eb:83 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 
 5: wg0:  mtu 1420 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN 
 mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 
     link/none 
  
 Is there anything else I can do or extract while running under either 
 kernel, the one with this patch or the -36-? 
  
 Back on the -35- kernel for now. 
  
 Now I can also check further patches quicker as I now have the proper 
 arm64 package build setup to do so without wearing down the eMMC on 
 the production host nor with running out of disk space. :-) 
  
   Regards, Axel
