I’m anxious to loose my working ethernet connection if Kernel 5.13 becomes EOL
I used manjaro-log-helper for two boot protocols.
No chance to use pastebinit, so i uploaded it to my google drive. Hope that works!
You see two boot protocols one with kernel 5.13 ( working ) and the other with faulty kernel 5.10
What is the cause for that issue with kernel 5.10?
You can try kernel 5.14 or kernel 5.15.
The driver, r8152-dkms was updated on 11/19/2021. Have you updated and tried with 5.15 as 5.15 will be the new LTS kernel when 5.16 is marked as stable.
So my google-drive worked? Great 
I’ll try that after my Quinoa-meal thats just cooking.
Driver is allways part of kernel, i think?!
I was looking at the driver in the AUR (r8152-dkms), but I would still give 5.15 a look as I think I read that 5.14 is soon to be EOL in one of the announcement threads. You are correct, it is included in the kernel, so the dkms version should not be needed.
Kernel 5.14 and 5.15 did not work!
I have a multiple boot with Win10, Mint, Manjaro (only Kernel 5.13), Deepin they all work flawlessly
For example inxi -F on Mint:

No idea what to learn from that?!
What driver shows ‘inxi’ in Manjaro 5.13 and 5.14 for this device? Is it the same like here in mint (driver: r8152)?
Kernel 5.13

So except Kernel 5.13 the Network driver is NOT loaded … very strange!
Perhaps this driver is missing in these Kernels??
For 5.13 and 5.14 you posted the wifi device not the ethernet one. ‘Device-2’ should be the ethernet device which was ‘up’ in mint. Could you correct this?

Conclusion; no Ethernet driver?!!
Very strange. Are there any drivers blacklisted in ‘/etc/modprobe.d/’?
Yes, there are three files in this directory:
File1 /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-john1.conf
# von mir ergänzt laut https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Lenovo_Yoga_c940#Overview
blacklist snd_hda_intel
blacklist snd_soc_skl
File2 blacklist-nvidia-nouveau.conf
blacklist nouveau
options nouveau modeset=0
File 3 mhwd-gpu.conf
##
## Generated by mhwd - Manjaro Hardware Detection
##
blacklist nouveau
blacklist ttm
blacklist drm_kms_helper
blacklist drm
options nvidia "NVreg_DynamicPowerManagement=0x02"
the first *.conf is written from me but i can’t remember anything!
There should not be the problem.
It is above my knowledge if ‘inxi’ shows devices only if drivers were available and if kernel 5.14/5.15 has this network driver inbuild.
As @jrichard326 said above there is ‘r8152-dkms’-driver in the AUR. Have your try to use this one? Be sure that kernel headers for the pointed kernel are installed befor installing dkms-driver.
I tested this:
lsmod|grep r8152
For 5.13 it shows:
r8152 131072 1 r8153_ecm
mii 16384 2 usbnet,r8152
For 5.14 it shows NOTHING
I think r8152 is not part of these Kernels? But thats far beyond my knowledge!
I stay with kernel 5.13 as long as possible.
But i don’t know how long that will be.
Perhaps some devs will read that post and can make the correct conclusion … I’m just a user 
5.13 already has been declared EOL and will not receive any further updates, see
Manjaro does not develop the linux kernel. It’s been declared EOL by linux kernel developers.
I don’t know if this is meaningful, but I find the following in lib/modules on Kernel 5.15.6-1 (unstable):
/usr/lib/modules/5.15.6-1-MANJARO/build/include/linux/usb/r8152.h
/lib/modules/5.15.6-1-MANJARO/build/include/linux/usb/r8152.h
have added linux514-headers and linux5.15-headers ?
Yes, they are present because of NVIDIA?!!
trouble on drivers 8152/8153 ??
Yes, see above: USB-C connection … but first breakfast
