Usually, there's one side which goes much better.
Most modern USB-C to LAN are going to be USB3 and thus affected by this (including the dock. In one orientation, only the USB2 + charging works reliably, in the other orientation, USB3 (and LAN) works too).
Ah, genius! This is exactly the issue, I tried with a LAN adapter and with a hub, and the results are there: in one direction, the LAN isn't recognized, in the other it works flawlessly; and the hub is recognized as 2.1 hub in one direction, and 3.1 in the other (and the connected LAN works). I can't mark this conversation as resolved because I didn't start it, but it is resolved for me! Actually, this should be documented in the Troubleshooting Wiki.
