RTL8111/8168B and constant connection hang-ups

ingenious · 2012-02-12 18:40:00

Hello everyone,

I've already posted the same topic in the newbie corner and didn't get any responses so I'm trying here. Maybe someone will sympathize with me this time... The problem is that my internet connection just hangs at some random point or another. It sometimes happens when I'm uploading with 10 MBps, it sometimes happens when I'm just playing nethack. In both cases it can be fixed with just running rc.d restart net-profiles, nevertheless I'm pretty annoyed with this whole thing by now.

lspci:
03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 06)

/etc/rc.conf:

ADDR6=(2001:7c0:409:8001::*:*/64)

POST_UP="sleep 1s && echo -n 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/eth0/accept_ra"

I have also blacklisted r8169 via /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf.

any help would be dearly appreciated.

Which kernel are you running? I had to run Realtek driver r8168 up through the 3.0 kernels, but since 3.1, the standard Linux driver r8169 started working. For me, anyway.

I've been having this issues with both r8168 and r8169 drivers and with all the recent kernel versions. I just started using archlinux 3 weeks ago and that's when my problems started too

I'm having the same issues with my ethernet card using r8168 (r8169 is broken in other ways).
dmesg is filled with "stalled" messages and sometimes stack traces that don't really point to the source, it's driving me nuts.
It just hangs for half a minute at a time in a very peculiar way, audio and video keeps playing, but everything else is frozen, the UI, the mouse, no reaction to keyboard.

Update:
dug up a sample out of my logs, I'm not sure how much wpa_supplicant is at fault here.

I've started a thread on the linux kernel mailing list, hopefully someone there can look into it.

Ok, I had the same problem running Slackware 13.37 on an ASUS P8Z68-V LX. It too is using the RTL8111/8168B (rev 06) .
I followed the advice in this post (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … bug/699761) and it worked like a charm. Hope this helps in your instance.

I've had intermittent problems with this too ever since I bought a motherboard with the r8168b rev 6. It seems to come and go with different kernel revisions, and it is a kernel level error that is not specific to a distro. Rather, the issue is just that the kernel does not detect the adapter as a 8168. It's a known issue that's existed for several years. You can download the proper driver from the realtek site and run autorun.sh The autorun.sh script will blacklist the r8168 module in most distros, but in arch you have to manually add a file to /etc/modprobe.d/. There is also the r8168-ck package in the AUR, but I haven't tested it out.

Edit: After updating to 3.2.7-1-lqx the interface goes up and down quickly 8 or so times at startup and then stops doing it at all.

So the solution is to use r8168? Well it still sucks, my laptop keeps locking up on suspend or something that touches the ethernet interface, and it doesn't if I'm on wifi.

I think disabling ipv6 might have solved the instability issues for me.
Boot with ipv6.disable=1 added to kernel parameters.

I haven't had the time to check this thoroughly, but usually I should've seen quite a lot of nonsense in my dmesg by now, and it's silent.

It worked for me. thanks
