Thanks for you reply. I tried the cables. Have no other HW NIC machine available. Here is dmesg | grep eth. I had only one set like this so may not be relevant since the disconnect/reconnect happens repeated. h [ 0.854438] r8169 0000:02:00.0 eth0: RTL8168c/8111c at 0xffffc90000634000, 00:e0:4c:68:00:c5, XID 1c4000c0 IRQ 27 [ 0.854445] r8169 0000:02:00.0 eth0: jumbo features [frames: 6128 bytes, tx checksumming: ko] [ 0.855148] r8169 0000:03:00.0 eth1: RTL8168c/8111c at 0xffffc90000636000, 00:e0:4c:68:00:c6, XID 1c4000c0 IRQ 28 [ 0.855155] r8169 0000:03:00.0 eth1: jumbo features [frames: 6128 bytes, tx checksumming: ko] [ 26.942601] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready [ 26.953369] r8169 0000:02:00.0 eth0: link down [ 26.953372] r8169 0000:02:00.0 eth0: link down [ 26.953485] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready [ 26.957431] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth1: link is not ready [ 26.969361] r8169 0000:03:00.0 eth1: link down [ 26.969435] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth1: link is not ready [ 28.612791] r8169 0000:02:00.0 eth0: link up [ 28.612809] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0: link becomes ready There is no eth1 active. IPv6 the problem?
