Just to add: it might be that the r8168-dmks driver works better for your hardware than the kernel's generic r8169, it did in my case. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1876593 Title: Et

Interesting. Did you switch off the machine after flashing the updated BIOS (and before re-testing) or did you just reboot? In the latter case this may be an explanation. Often a BIOS initializes certain things on cold boot only. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of U

Frustratingly, this seems to have now resolved itself, so I can't test the patch. All I did was leave the machine off for a few hours and turn it back on - then it was working again. I now can't reproduce the problem, with or without the Lan Boot ROM option. The PHY ID now reports as 0x001cc912.

Typically it helps to do a rmmod r8169 + modprobe r8169 to work around the BIOS bug. Maybe also a PHY soft reset helps to make the PHY behave sanely again. Can you test whether the following fixes the issue for you? diff --git a/drivers/net/ethernet/realtek/r8169_main.c b/drivers/net/ethernet/re

I've flashed the FF bios (interestingly, my CPU was actually unsupported on the BIOS I was running). Same problem, both with and without the LAN Boot ROM option set. The phy_id remains the same. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to

Seems your BIOS was never updated, see https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-890GPA-UD3H-rev-20/support #support-dl-bios. Versions FD and FE include some LAN fixes. Best update to latest version FF and re-test. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which

Had to search through the all the menu options twice to find it. Enabling the LAN Boot ROM had no (noticeable) effect. The only difference I can see from a quick scan through is in the dmesg output of the good kernel giving IRQ 36 instead of IRQ 35. -- You received this bug notification because

Thanks, this phy_id value is not a valid Realtek PHY ID. You seem to be affected by a known BIOS bug (few Gigabyte boards from 2009/2010 seem to be affected). See here: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=202275#c7 Please try to enable "LAN Boot ROM" option in BIOS. ** Bug watch added: L

Also before the generic PHY driver was loaded as fallback, the actual PHY driver would be RTL8211B. Did you check what the error message says? Do you have r8169.ko and/or realtek.ko in your initramfs? And to be sure: In the good case, please report the PHY ID (search for phy_id under /sys). --
