Ethernet keeps deactivating and reactivating randomly

General system
1

Hi there!

I’ve recently switched over to EndeavourOS and I have one problem which I haven’t had with my other distro’s before and I cannot figure out what I need to do to fix it.

So whenever ethernet is plugged in to my laptop, it randomly starts disconnecting and reconnecting. This process takes maybe 1 second in total but it spams my notifications and it is annoying because it is interrupting downloads etc.

I have narrowed it down to the following journalctl sequence:

So somehow the carrier gets lost by an unhandled dhcp event. Now running dhcpcd -B enp60s0u1u1 results in the following output:

enp60s0u1u1: rebinding lease of 192.168.2.113

enp60s0u1u1: deleting default route via 192.168.2.254
enp60s0u1u1: removing interface

So to me it seems that the unhandled dhcp event is that it is not able to retreive DHCPv6 information and thus drops the entire connection. I’ve tried looking up on potential ways to solve this but I’m stuck and asking for help.

I have checked hardware, swapped internet cables and different routers. I tried the connection on different operating systems (Fedora 34 & Windows 10) and there they work just fine.

Do you think this is the issue? If it is does anyone have any suggestions on how to solve this?

It’s probably not this but first things first: clean the contacts on your cables and the laptop. Sometimes it’s just something that simple. Anything intermittent shouts hardware first, then software. Sorry if this is a bit silly, just checking. :smiley:

Thanks for the swift reply! I forgot to mention this in my post but yes, I have checked the hardware, swapped out cables and even a router just to check. Everything works fine under Fedora 34 and Windows 10.

If it’s working under the other OS’s then it look like something is wrong with Network Manager in your EnOS setup. One thought: are you running EnOS in a VM?

5

and what chipset is it using ? lspci ?

Nope I’m running a dual boot setup. Is there any good references you know of on how to set up network manager? I tried looking at the arch wiki and followed the steps there to set up dhcp and dns etc. along with some other troubleshooting settings.

The ethernet connection is via thunderbolt 3 so I guess lsusb is also relevant:

you can try this dkms driver ?

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/r8152-dkms/

otherwise this can mayby help to ?

there is somewhere a sript…

Installed the dkms drivers and did not do anything, still the same result sadly. The script restarts my ethernet connection but doesn’t do anything about the stability, still the same behaviour.

10

found this one… from 2017 but sounds similar?

11

Not entirely, but I found out that the behaviour is not only limited to my ethernet connection. It also happens to my wlan however for some reason it reconnects quicker than it can disconnect so thats why wifi seems to be stable.

Workaround:
Limiting the connection speed to 100MBit FDX via “ethtool eth… speed 100 duplex full autoneg on”

(from the bug report)

I think this could be a workaround

15

A BIOS/Firmware update might help (your BIOS is almost 2 years old)?
If you update BIOS, make absolutely sure it is for the exact machine model.

16

Updated BIOS, removed GRUB in the process but that is sorted. Disconnecting behavior still remains

17

what shows:

ethtool enp60s0u2u1

and to try to set it to 100 Mbps

ethtool -s enp60s0u2u1 speed 100 duplex full autoneg off

this will not be permanent so only to see if it helps.

18

What’s the model of your router?

19

ethtool enp60s0u2u1 gives:

Tried using ethtool -s enp60s0u2u1 speed 100 duplex full autoneg off, network speed is at a nice 100Mbps however journalctl still shows the same “carrier lost” and “unhandled dhcp event” sequence after which it gets terminated.

Disable ipv6 in the router settings

Edit: See if this stops it from deactivating at least. Then try to figure out the cause.
