I have search from the DELL product drives page, they only provide drives of windows.
Is there any another driver suit for the Ethernet device(Realtek RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller)?

20170704 FIXED
Need to make kernel with CONFIG_ACPI_REV_OVERRIDE_POSSIBLE=y .

This shouldn't be here and after the last line there is no way things can work so don't bother with this "ip link" stuff.

It's some PCI interrupt issue. Maybe the same as here, so try booting with acpi_sci=low and if this doesn't work, file a new bug report pasting only this dmesg snippet (or just whole dmesg) this time.

Thank you for your reply.
It doesn't wok. The dmesg snippet like this:

I guess you could also try noapic or acpi=noirq as a workaround.

Pobega · 2016-11-03 21:56:10

For those who may come across this in a Google Search, it looks like there is a conflict between this network card's interrupt code and something in ACPI. the `noapic` boot flag has temporarily resolved the issue for me.

HI, ALL:
I found that the newest kernel have fixed it(patch: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9423907/ ),
but archlinux stock kernel do not turn the option: CONFIG_ACPI_REV_OVERRIDE_POSSIBLE ,
so I build a custom kernel the the problem fixed.

zcat /proc/config.gz | grep CONFIG_ACPI_REV_OVERRIDE_POSSIBLE 
CONFIG_ACPI_REV_OVERRIDE_POSSIBLE=y

 dmesg | grep r8

BTW, is there a way to turn on the kernel config option: CONFIG_ACPI_REV_OVERRIDE_POSSIBLE=y with the stock kernel?

See https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/pack … ages/linux it has been reenabled since 4.11.5-1.

Thanks, I will mark this topic to FIXED.

Ahh this is probably related to another problem as here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=140887
I was using r8168 because r8169 wasn't working good for me, hopefully it will..
