Eric Carlier, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. Could you please test the latest upstream kernel available from the very top line at the top of the page (the release names are irrelevant for testing, and please do not test the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue.
If the test did not allow you to test to the issue (ex. you couldn't boot into the OS) please make a comment in your report about this, and continue to test the next most recent kernel version until you can test to the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon, next to the word Tags, located at the bottom of the report description: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-X.Y-rcZ Where XY and Z are numbers corresponding to the kernel version. If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-X.Y-rcZ Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: latest-bios-211 regression-update ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1457863 Title: interface eth0 disappears after network cable unplug/re-plug Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: The following bug is reproducible with linux-image-3.13.0-53-generic, but not with linux-image-3.13.0-52-generic. When I unplug the Ethernet cable from my laptop, I get the following messages in /var/log/kern.log after a few seconds (~20s): May 22 13:59:36 host kernel: [ 5498.465626] pciehp 0000:00:1c.5:pcie04: Card not present on Slot(5) May 22 13:59:36 host kernel: [ 5498.478755] pciehp 0000:00:1c.5:pcie04: Card present on Slot(5) May 22 13:59:36 host kernel: [ 5498.598744] pciehp 0000:00:1c.5:pcie04: Device 0000:06:00.0 already exists at 0000:06:00, cannot hot-add May 22 13:59:36 host kernel: [ 5498.598755] pciehp 0000:00:1c.5:pcie04: Cannot add device at 0000:06:00 May 22 13:59:36 host kernel: [ 5498.718646] atl1c 0000:06:00.0: MAC state machine can't be idle since disabled for 10ms second Then, when I re-plug the cable, eth0 does not appear in network manager; there is no message in kern.log. eth0 does not appear in ifconfig -a $ ifconfig -a lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:65536 Metric:1 RX packets:11586 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:11586 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:16392353 (16.3 MB) TX bytes:16392353 (16.3 MB) wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 48:5d:xx:xx:xx:xx inet addr:192.168.xx.xx Bcast:192.168.xx.xx Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:19 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:66 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:2651 (2.6 KB) TX bytes:12364 (12.3 KB) I tried to reinitialize networking with the following: sudo modprobe -r atl1c sudo modprobe atl1c Still no eth0 and no message in kern.log I tried $ sudo ifup eth0 Ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0. Same symptoms occur when I reboot my router, and its Ethernet interface becomes temporarily unavailable. Only way I found to restore eth0 was rebooting. --- ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.11 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC1: chewy 3002 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC0: chewy 3002 F.... pulseaudio CurrentDesktop: KDE DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 EcryptfsInUse: Yes HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=17ba1751-f706-417b-ac40-1b4a7be825d8 InstallationDate: Installed on 2012-12-29 (873 days ago) InstallationMedia: Kubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Release amd64 (20120423) MachineType: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.
