[Bug 1457863] Re: interface eth0 disappears after network cable unplug/re-plug

 

The bug is not reproducible anymore, although no linux-* package was
upgraded, and nothing kernel-related was changed on my machine.

Title:
  interface eth0 disappears after network cable unplug/re-plug

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  The following bug is reproducible with linux-image-3.13.0-53-generic,
  but not with linux-image-3.13.0-52-generic.

  When I unplug the Ethernet cable from my laptop, I get the following messages in /var/log/kern.log after a few seconds (~20s):
  May 22 13:59:36 host kernel: [ 5498.465626] pciehp 0000:00:1c.5:pcie04: Card not present on Slot(5)

  May 22 13:59:36 host kernel: [ 5498.598755] pciehp 0000:00:1c.5:pcie04: Cannot add device at 0000:06:00

  Then, when I re-plug the cable, eth0 does not appear in network manager; there is no message in kern.log.
  eth0 does not appear in ifconfig -a

  $ ifconfig -a

  I tried to reinitialize networking with the following:
  sudo modprobe -r atl1c
  sudo modprobe atl1c

  Still no eth0 and no message in kern.log

  I tried
  $ sudo ifup eth0
  Ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0.

  Same symptoms occur when I reboot my router, and its Ethernet
  interface becomes temporarily unavailable.

  Only way I found to restore eth0 was rebooting.
