Cocodude, could you please test the latest mainline kernel via http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.13-rc1-trusty/ and advise to the results?
If reproducible with it, the next step is to fully commit bisect from 13.04 to 13.10, in order to identify the offending commit following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBisection . ** Tags removed: kernel-bug-exists-upstream ** Tags added: kernel-bug-exists-upstream-v3.12 needs-upstream-testing ** 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/1249979 Title: r8169 Ethernet driver doesn't work Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Following an upgrade from 13.04 to 13.10, gigabit card stopped working (100Mbps ethernet working fine on the motherboard still - KN9 Ultra). dmesg gives a load of warnings "r8169 0000:01:0a.0 eth0: rtl_phyar_cond == 0 (loop: 20, delay: 25)." and when rmmodding r8169 and modprobing it, I get: [ 125.198865] r8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver 2.3LK-NAPI loaded [ 125.199151] r8169 0000:01:0a.0 (unregistered net_device): not PCI Express [ 125.199669] r8169 0000:01:0a.0 eth0: RTL8169sb/8110sb at 0xffffc90000c5a000, 00:21:27:c9:5f:cf, XID 10000000 IRQ 18 [ 125.199677] r8169 0000:01:0a.0 eth0: jumbo features [frames: 7152 bytes, tx checksumming: ok] [ 125.231623] r8169 0000:01:0a.0 eth0: link down [ 125.233790] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready [ 125.240366] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready Plugging out and then in the cable makes no difference.
