Lenghty networking startup

Hi,

At every boot the network takes almost a minute to wake up.

[   18.557838] RTL8211DN Gigabit Ethernet r8169-0-600:00: attached PHY driver (mii_bus:phy_addr=r8169-0-600:00, irq=MAC)
[   18.823260] r8169 0000:06:00.0 enp6s0: Link is Down
[   56.120738] r8169 0000:06:00.0 enp6s0: Link is Up - 100Mbps/Full - flow control rx/tx

What's going on ?

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 4#p2175754 but that's supposed to be fixed in 6.9.7 ?

Re: Lenghty networking startup

Afaik it wouldn't recover out of that deadlock on it's own either (and from what I've gathered from the commit logs and mailing lists the deadlock would only happen if you had multiple NICs trying to provide the new netdev device at the "same" time) , I'm assuming this is a different cause (unless OP is not yet on 6.9.7 in which case that should be ruled out first)

isn't that part of the rules: make sure to fully update before reporting?

Re: Lenghty networking startup

It's highly expected and generally should be done, but unless we see logs that confirm this without a doubt chances are someone is on something older

Re: Lenghty networking startup

- Other side is my internet router.
- In-board internet card was out of order, this is an added Ethernet card.

Re: Lenghty networking startup

- does your isp-provided device support gigabit on the port you pkugged into?
- is there an option to change speeds (sometimes called "eco-mode" for 100mbit/s)?
- have you tried replacing the cable?

Re: Lenghty networking startup

Also check "ethtool enp6s0" and your journal for downshifts.

And if the subject-issue of the thread is solved by the update, please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.
