Network Adapter randomly unloads, reboot fixes it

Support Network
1

All,

I recently started having this issue after installing Docker for testing. I’ve since removed Docker and it’s dependencies, but it still continues. Tried to move to a different kernel and update, and still no change in behavior. My wired network adapter will function normally until a point in time where it will go through the following output in dmesg and be offline. Cannot disconnect and reconnect cable, forcing an ip link set down/up does nothing. Only a reboot. Below is the output from dmesg when this happens:

  1. Please replace the Ethernet cable with a CAT-6 cable first
  2. In case you’re skipping to the next line because replacing the cable takes >5 minutes, please go ahead. If not, go back to #1 :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
  3. what’s the relevant network section output of inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host before and after the issue happens?
  4. Does turning off Ethernet auto-negotiation and fixing the network speed to HD (Half Duplex, not High Definition) help?

:innocent:

P.S. @greenizgood Are the above steps less obnoxious than the way I asked you originally? :wink: :grin:

  1. I am running cat6 and have swapped cables.
  2. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: …
  3. Before

  4. I’ve forced it to 1Gb speed instead of auto-negotiate, haven’t changed it to half-dupe yet. Waiting on another failure.

So far so good, I had defined my speed manually before, and I no idea why it reverted. Thanks for the extra set of eyes!

I’ve marked the below answer as the solution to your question as it is by far the best answer you’ll get.

However, if you disagree with my choice, please feel free to take any other answer as the solution to your question or even remove the solution altogether: You are in control! (I just want to avoid even more subjective opinions being posted and confusing you even more)

:innocent:
P.S. In the future, please mark a solution like this:
Solution
so that the next person that has the exact same problem you just had will benefit from your post as well as your question will now be in the “solved” status.
