After a week of testing v4.14-rc2, the conclusions remain the same:
- System doesn't freeze when booting up and logging in with the dock attached.
- Ethernet doesn't connect automatically on boot / after login, manual intervention required.
- System doesn't wake from suspend if the dock was disconnected during sleep.
- System does wake properly from suspend if the dock was connected during sleep or dock connection did not change at all.
- No sudden ethernet disconnects.
I've got also a TB16 dock now:
Problems with kernel 4.13.4:
- Graphics crash when booting with dock attached, Ubuntu displayed a message asking what to do, but it recovered after selecting low res mode. Interestingly, I managed to log into desktop.
- Everything else same as with WD15 dock.
Kernel v4.14.rc2: same behavior as with v4.14.rc2 + WD15 dock.
