Public bug reported: Whenever I reboot my computer, I am unable to connect to my network via ethernet. After running journalctl -xe I found the culprit to be the r8169 driver.
== Steps to reproduce: == - Reboot computer - Try to connect to network My linux-modules package is linux-modules-5.11.0-7620-generic The kernel logs give me this error: > r8169 0000:04:00.0 enp4s0: rtl_rxtx_empty_cond == 0 (loop: 42, delay: 100) I uploaded a log of when I attempted to use modprobe r8169 here: https://pastebin.com/kPA1wM82 Here is the information about my network adapter from the output of lspci: > 04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. > RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 0c) And from ip link show: > 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode > DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 > link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 > 2: enp4s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP > mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 > link/ether 18:c0:4d:2f:b0:7d brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff == Notes == - I am not running vanilla ubuntu, but Pop!_OS 21.04. I was referred here after attempting to report this on this github issue: https://github.com/pop-os/linux/issues/56 - My motherboard is a Gigabyte B450M DS3H with a Ryzen 2600 - The only way I have found to solve this is to use the r8168-dkms package and blacklist r8169 or rebooting into my Windows partition and then reboot back into Pop!_OS (however when restarting and trying to go back into Pop!_OS, r8169 throws that error again) ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1935866 Title: r8169 not working To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1935866/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
