Hi!
So my ethernet connection is unstable, I get a notification in KDE about “Interface unavailable” and the icon changing to a red X. I’ve been trying to troubleshoot this for like 2 months now, and I’m at my wits end.
At first I thought it was an issue with my VPN, mullvad, that had messed with the network drivers somehow, so I’ve uninstalled that, and the problem persists.
When googling the problem I found this link:
https://access.redhat.com/solutions/894763
It was the only thing I could find. So I tried that and it doesn’t seem to help. I still get the errors but I can’t tell if they are less frequent because of this file.
Then I thought it was something to do with DHCP, because in the logs it says “dhcp4 (enp0s31f6): canceled DHCP transaction” sometimes. So I’ve set up a static ip address in my router, and changed the DHCP lease to 1 week, and while that seemed to help reduce the frequency of the problem, I still get these “interface unavailable” messages in KDE.
Now I’ve bypassed the router completely, so the WAN cable in my apartment is connected directly to my computer. I’ve only had it like this for a day, so july 9th to today, july 10th, and still had disconnects because of this.
I could swap my current router to my previous one, but since I still have the issue even without a router I don’t think it would make a difference.
Also I’ve tried settings in NetworkManager to require IPv4, and disabled IPv6, to requiring IPv6 but I don’t think it made a difference. Can change if you think/knows it makes a difference of course.
Here are logs from july 8th to 10th of july, if you’d like more I’d be happy to provide.

If there’s any info I’ve missed I’d be happy to provide it.
Thanks for your time!
