TB 15 Ethernet Instability
I now have a wired Ethernet connection available where I set up my dock at home. Since I've plugged in the Ethernet cable from the wall into the TB15 dock, and began using that interface (vs onboard wifi) I've seen /A LOT/ of weird things happening. One instance was that random checksum failures occurred while pulling down updates via apt-get update. Later the same day, as I was browsing the Web, a page loaded with all manner of crazy, non-ASCII looking symbols in the page text. Now this evening, loading a random web page froze in the browser. dmesg yielded an ominous looking string of error messages (kernel oops?), which I have copied n pasted and will attempt to attach here (as the dmesg output contained a ----cut here--- frame).
My question is, who should I report this to? Clearly this is related the Ethernet port on the TB15, which I have only begun using the last few days. Should the dmesg trace go to Sputnik, Ubuntu, kernell guys?
System specifics:
Dell Precision 5510 w/ TB15 dock
BIOS ??? (have to fill this in after reboot, not the latest rev, but recent 2016 vintage)
kernel 4.8.0-26-generic
Ubuntu 16.10 Yakkety

I also get this all the time, making the devices ethernet unusable.
You can see how pervasive the packet loss is by loading dell's own website with the dock's ethernet:
