I recently purchased a few bits for a project. Unfortunately I’ve hit a bit of a problem. In short the Three Port USB Hub with Ethernet/Realtek RTL8152 (ADP003) on one of the Pi 3 that I purchased has (I believe) developed a bit of a problem in that when you try and use it, it throws some errors and dissapears.
I’m running CentOS 7 armv7l and the item in question is set up to be eth1. I’m using an official RasPi power supply.

Without it plugged in, then I don’t get any such messages.
I’ve tried using a different USB port on the Pi, but that doesn’t work. And I’ve also tried other USB devices (keyboards, flash drives) in the same ports and they’re OK. Meanwhile I’ve tried it on another Linux box and two Windows boxes and none of them can get it to work properly either.
I know the combo of Pi 3, CentOS 7 armv7l and this dongle work, as I have an identical setup (built from the same image) at another location.
I’m of the opinion that it’s broken, but before I ask for a replacement has anyone got any ideas?
have you tried / can you try that specific dongle on your working setup? if just swapping your working unit for this one yields the fault then you’ll know it’s the hardware which has is the culprit?
Unfortunately i can’t test it on its twin, as that’s in another location. However I have managed to dig out an original Model A running Wheezy.
It doesn’t look too good, this is from dmesg:

Upon booting with the dongle attached there’s all the above complaining and then there’s no eth1. If it’s hot plugged then it may show up briefly before either disappearing or locking up the Pi completely if you try and do something with it.
So I’m now firmly of the opinion that it is broken. Could you point me in the right direction as to how to obtain a replacement please?
