Have had Macs since the early 2000s and buy a new Mac every year or two tops. Over the past decade only remember a couple kernel panics. However upgraded from my MBP16 to a MBP14 M1 Max (completely maxed out). And since getting have had about 8+ kernel panics. Where all of the sudden the mac freezes (not spinning wheel) but rather the whole screen and even trackpad and clock etc freezes and then the fans go full throttle, and then the machine restarts after about 30 seconds. Was using Monterrey betas all year on the intel mac. And when getting the new mac upgraded to latest betas as well. I like probably most mac laptop devs, plugin a hub. OWC Thunderbolt 4. Noticed the panics seemed to be happening when plugging in or unplugging from the hub such as in the morning and evening. On beta 2 consistently. On beta 3, seemed like Apple fixed the bug since didn't happen when plugging/unplugging, but a couple days later it happened again when unplugging. This time, it froze but fan didn't turn on and didnt auto restart so I had to force restart it. Hasn't haven't again yet in the past couple of days, but worried it will. Has anyone reported this issue before on M1 Macs when using a hub such as OWC and on latest

On my previous Macbook Pro 16in Intel (Monterrey) and before, have always had my computer connected to OWC thunderbolt dock, and thunderbolt usb-c 10g ethernet attached to the dock getting me about 1.7gbps.
On the new M1 MacBook Pro 14 (Monterrey - Stable version shipped with), it still works but now in Preferences > Network > Thunderbolt Bridge shows as not connected (even though it is). The problem here, is even though I have that set to override wifi, wifi appears first in the list and thus uses the wifi because it thinks the ethernet isn't connected. If I disable wifi, then thunderbolt bridge is on top, still says not connected, but able to get full ethernet speeds. But then when I unplug and want to use wifi i have to manually re-enable wifi.
Not sure why system preferences thinks the Thunderbolt Bridge (10g ethernet isn't connected when it is on my new M1?) Is this solved in the 12.1 beta, if so will update to that.
