I'm having intermitent issues connecting to the internet only when connecting my DELL XPS 15 through a wired connection. These are very fast "working not working status" as you can see by the ping logs.
Wifi is fine. I'm using an usb-c to ethernet adaptor, (RTL8152B). I have no issues when connecting on windows (i have a dual boot set up) so it is likely to be a ubuntu issue. Running Ubunutu 20.04, Desktop version.
When $ ping 8.8.8.8 I get:

when doing $ arp -a
I sometimes get:

or this:

when running $ ifconfig I sometimes get this:

I tried re-installing the drivers on Realtek website for Linux but the issue persists. I turned the modem on and off several times, along with rebooting Ubuntu and it worked once a few days ago. However, after replugging the cable, the intermittent issue came back.
I also tried resetting the network manager, and adding the logical name to /etc/network/interfaces by writing the following (as suggested on Wired Ethernet not working Ubuntu 18.04):
auto enx00e04c361b34
iface enx00e04c361b34 inet dhcp
and then running the interface:
sudo ifup enx00e04c361b34
But that did not work either.
Some additional information regarding the Network Manager logs:
sudo journalctl -b 0 /usr/sbin/NetworkManager
gives me the following warnings right out of the bet:
May 15 18:47:55 linux NetworkManager[829]: <warn> [1589579275.9905] config: unknown key 'wifi.cloned-mac-address' in section [device-mac-addr-change-wifi] of file '/usr/lib/NetworkManager/conf.> May 15 18:47:55 linux NetworkManager[829]: <warn> [1589579275.9905] config: unknown key 'ethernet.cloned-mac-address' in section [device-mac-addr-change-wifi] of file '/usr/lib/NetworkManager/c>
latter also:

After turning off the wifi and leaving it only with the wired connection I have the following logs that basicly repeat...:
