[Bug 1459985] Re: r8169 ethernet stops working after a while

 

Ville Ranki, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available
from the very top line at the top of the page (the release names are
irrelevant for testing, and please do not test the daily folder)
following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds ? It will allow
additional upstream developers to examine the issue.

If the test did not allow you to test to the issue (ex. you couldn't boot into the OS) please make a comment in your report about this, and continue to test the next most recent kernel version until you can test to the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon, next to the word Tags, located at the bottom of the report description:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-X.Y-rcZ

Where XY and Z are numbers corresponding to the kernel version.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-X.Y-rcZ

Please note, an error to install the kernel does not fit the criteria of
kernel-bug-exists-upstream.

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  r8169 ethernet stops working after a while

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have a lenovoE540  laptop with a r8169 wired onboard ethernet. When
  the computer is started, ethernet works fine for about 20-30 minutes.
  After that network stops working.

  dmesg shows that initially the link is up and stays up:

  [   41.806656] r8169 0000:04:00.0 eth0: link up

  There are no other networking related messages. Networking starts
  working again if I disconnect and connect again the cable. After this
  networking works until computer is shut down.

  This is reproducible and happens to me every day. There are also other
  reports on r8169 issues but I didn't find a matching bug report on
  launchpad. This happens only to this computer on network, so I doubt
  it's a DHCP or other network misconfiguration issue.
