Funny you ask! I just edited this in, realizing it was relevant.

It's quite odd, this is with Fedora -- the current/latest release for about the past year (34 through 36).

It's seen quite a healthy number of 5.x kernels, but every time I try to go without I reluctantly have to build it again

It'll work fine, for a time, but when I really put stress on that link it'll drop

Edit: This is trained at multi-gig too -- going to a 10GbE Mikrotik switch.

I haven't tried testing reliability at 1G -- it's probably better, but I'd like the speed... I still have yet to try a 6.y kernel on it

No guarantee that it'll fix it but for me it helped to disable ASPM, details in https://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?t=39678
Certainly worth a try, thank you!

Seeing they have a kernel PPA makes me suspect too that there's some patchwork going on, where I'm using vanilla Fedora kernels

You can use dkms to automatically compile your out of kernel driver for you whenever you install a new kernel.
Indeed, I'm aware - that's what I typically use

When I say build it, I really mean allow dkms to function
