tell me about layer 1/layer 2 weirdness you have seen when using a baked-in eth port on your laptop to do networky things vs using a dongle 🎤

@tracketpacer whatever broadcast frame that was in the buffer when the computer went to sleep was repeatedly sent to the network at maximum tilt and slowed the entire segment to a crawl

@kirkman @tracketpacer I think I remember seeing this bug, or at least something very similar on Dell hardware with sleeping devices.

Power states in general seem to cause integrated NICs to do very strange things. I've had similar issues with some docks.
