Re: Ethernet (eth0) broken after upgrade to kernel 3.8.3-2

Must be a bug with kernel 3.8.3-2 kernel.

This is a kernel bug, patches are on the way. Any workaround in the meantime should be temporary.

https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/1/18/147

This is a driver issue, not related to the device name issue mentioned in the thread. twouters: You're not invisible, just off-topic in this case. Cheers.

Re: Ethernet (eth0) broken after upgrade to kernel 3.8.3-2

It's solved on 3.8.4-1.

Re: Ethernet (eth0) broken after upgrade to kernel 3.8.3-2

It's not fixed for me with 3.8.4-1, upgraded this morning and still had to enable the adaptor with;

echo on > /sys/class/net/enp0s25/device/power/control

Thanks mediaserf for the info.

I will await the fixed kernel version

Re: Ethernet (eth0) broken after upgrade to kernel 3.8.3-2

You right. Now, it doesn't work after suspend. But:

echo on > /sys/class/net/eth0/device/power/control

helps.

Re: Ethernet (eth0) broken after upgrade to kernel 3.8.3-2

Same here, Dell E6320. I have to use "echo on" against my wired interface after every reboot or suspend-resume cycle. Wireless works fine.

$ uname -a
Linux lapcho0147 3.8.4-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Mar 20 22:10:25 CET 2013 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Re: Ethernet (eth0) broken after upgrade to kernel 3.8.3-2

Same here with 3.8.4.1. Neither after a fresh reboot nor after suspend the NIC is working.

An "easier" workaround: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 7#p1246377

But after a suspend it still has to be done manually. Don't know why, but it's annoying. Looks like udev or perhaps laptop-mode-tools is the problem after a suspend.

Re: Ethernet (eth0) broken after upgrade to kernel 3.8.3-2

Maybe this bug is patched in 3.9. The e1000e patches are applied in the master: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kerne … khlebnikov
Edit: You can test it with linux-mainline from AUR. (there is also a precompiled version avaible, repository in the comments)

Re: Ethernet (eth0) broken after upgrade to kernel 3.8.3-2

Have just updated to 3.8.4-1 (I had 3.7.10-1 before), and have ran straightly into this issue too:

kernel: e1000e 0000:00:19.0: irq 45 for MSI/MSI-X
kernel: e1000e 0000:00:19.0: irq 45 for MSI/MSI-X
kernel: IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready
kernel: e1000e 0000:00:19.0: irq 45 for MSI/MSI-X

LTS kernel fixed the problem in the meanwhile for me.
Will see whether I'll give a try to that "echo on" temp. fix.

yes, I did, had no better effect.
after I logged to the shell, I've got this error: "eth0: error fetching interface information: Device not found"
adapting the netcfg profile to new network interface name enp0s25 also didn't helped.
but the "echo on" fix does work. so either this or the LTS kernel.

Re: Ethernet (eth0) broken after upgrade to kernel 3.8.3-2

Fixed for me in 3.8.5.1

Just did a fresh boot, checked whether "auto" was on and (un)plugged the cable a  couple times. Then did the same for suspend.

Not for me. It works sometimes but I just did a boot and network stayed off.

Still affected on dell e6430 with kernel 3.8.5.

BTW: is anybody else bothered by this https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47091 ?

It seems that this driver sucks for laptop users...

Previous kernel didn't work at all, now it works occasionally?

Yes indeed: sometimes I have to do the workaround after booting, sometimes I don't.

Oddly, didn't work for me this morning either. Intentionally booted without cable inserted, will have to narrow it down somehow.

Still the same problem. Thinkpad x201 with 3.8.5-1.

The workaround works but its a little annoying to do it after every suspend/reboot.

Weirdly, it works fine at home (direct cable to router) but not at work (no idea how or where it goes to)

Here's the script I've been using, asks for sudo if required

#!/bin/bash

if [ $EUID != 0 ]; then
    sudo "$0" "$@"
    sudo tee "/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:19.0/power/control" <<< on
    exit $?
fi

Re: Ethernet (eth0) broken after upgrade to kernel 3.8.3-2

finally, the yesterday released (arch core repo) kernel 3.9.2-1 fixed the problem, and the temp. fix "echo on > /sys/class/net/eth0/device/power/control" ain't required anymore.
