Since yesterday or a couple of days ago, the ethernet interface is not listed anymore.

Yesterday or a couple of days ago, I have updated Arch Linux with command

pacman -Syu

After restart, the regular ethernet did not show up.

ifconfig -a

http://0x0.st/XPG2.txt

However, the lights of the Arch Linux machine hardware and OpenWrt router indicate of signals.

ifconfig has been deprecated for well over a decade. Switch to ip.

log shows enp3s0f0u4 just fine. If you're having problems, it's probably because you're using both NetworkManager and systemd-networkd. You can only use one network management daemon at a time.

1) Scimmia, interface usb0 is a postmarketOS PDA device connected via USB (usb0).

2) I am not familiar with systemd-networkd.

3) Is it possible to use NetworkManager without its daemon (i.e. with systemd-networkd)?

seth · 2024-05-21 16:32:16

Not "possible", "necessary".
Disable systemd-networkd and reboot but also post the output of "lspci -k" - does the device show up w/ the LTS kernel?

RedArcher · 2024-11-04 12:47:57

This is the ourput of "lspci -k".

https://dpaste.org/OcsTP

This is the output after disabling "systemd-networkd":

$ lspci -k > lspcik.txt
lspci: Unable to load libkmod resources: error -2

https://dpaste.org/98SDT

I do not know what is the name of the device.

I do not know whether or not do I run the LTS kernel, as I think that I have zen and other kernels intalled too.

I have disabled "systemd-networkd" with:

# systemctl stop systemd-networkd
# systemctl disable systemd-networkd

The interface still not shown.

blacklist r8169

Well…

$ modinfo r8169
modinfo: ERROR: Module r8169 not found.

WELL…

Linux workstation 6.11.5-arch1-1

local/linux 6.11.6.arch1-1

local/r8168 8.053.00-5

r8168 wa dropped into the AUR, https://aur.archlinux.org/packages?K=r8168
=> remove the package, it's likely the cause of the blacklist.

On top of that you're running 6.11.5 but have 6.11.6 installed which is likely just because you've not rebooted after an update.
So reboot as well.

If you then have problems w/ the r8169 driver, you want to pick up https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/r8168-dkms (you already have linux-headers)

RedArcher · 2024-11-04 14:51:55

This is an unexpected error. The AUR package was updated today.

Why did you skip directly to that instead of doing what seth said?

And that error is not unexpected, that's pretty standard AUR stuff. See the AUR wiki page.

loqs · 2024-11-04 14:55:59

Did the kernel provided r8169 not work after you removed the r8168 package and rebooted?

See GnuPG#Import_a_public_key to fetch the key.

I have installed "r8168-dkms" which is in conflict with "r8168" so it pacman has prompted to remove "r8168" before installing "r8168-dkms".

Is this fine?

Also, after restart, the interface has been detected, yet NetworkManager fails to establish connectivity.

"systemd-networkd" is still disabled, and if possible, I will keep it disabled.

Scimmia · 2024-11-04 15:05:58

Go back and read seth's post again. Even that was the *last* step, not the first.

seth · 2024-11-04 15:06:52

Step #1: test the r8169
Step #2: provide a journal for the current situation, "NetworkManager fails to establish connectivity" fits https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57855

RedArcher · 2024-11-04 15:19:29

How should r8169 be tested?

I hope that this journal log is useful

http://0x0.st/XGl_.txt

modinfo r8169

http://0x0.st/XGlO.txt

I will remove "r8168-dkms" and reboot and observe again.

REBOOT!

The interface successfully appears, even without "r8168" nor "r8168-dkms" package.

NetworkManager still fails to establish connectivity.

I might want to reset the router.

SOLVED!

I beg your pardon.

I have connected the cable to the WAN socket interface instead of the LAN socket interface of the router.

Thank you, kind gentlemen!
