Realtek ethernet problems r8168-dkms and r8169

#1 Post by bmickey »

Hi I was wondering if someone could help me interpret the output in my computers syslog.

I typically don't use my ethernet but recently I have started to and its giving me a large amount of problems.
It will work for a couple minutes and then I will lose connection to whatever web pages I'm looking at.
This is my ethernet controller,

Code: Select all

 lshw -C network
  *-network                 
       description: Ethernet interface
       product: RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller

I've been searching the internet and while I find that there seems to be no shortage of problems with Realtek I can't find anything about a resolution with debian.

I had r8168-dkms installed but it was slow and kept losing its connection. Then I read that I should purge r8168-dkms and it would use the default r8169 in the kernel so I did. But while that is indeed much faster when its working it suffers from the same issue as r8168 and keeps dropping the connection.

Here is the syslog info - it was basically the exact same when I had r8168 installed.

I can see that there's some issue with dhcp and its trying to switch between ipv4 and ipv6 but I don't really knows whats going.

Thank you.

I didn't see the problem, but have you tried disabling ipv6 and see if that helps?

I don't understand what you mean by, "... lose connection to whatever web pages I'm looking at."

It generally helps alot if you diagnose the problem instead of trying random repairs. For instance, when you lost connection, did you run ethtool to see if there still is functioning physical connection?

Another random thing I might try is another dns server.

Look at all that DNS complexity. Linux used to be strong because it was simple. You put your nameservers into resolv.conf and they stayed there until you changed your mind. Now a certain company is flooding Linux with all these "improvements", systemd, PulseAudio, avahi, whatnot. Result, Linux is getting Windows-like. Configuration changes unexpectedly, things that used just to work don't work any more, system that didn't need any maintenance suddenly has a life in its own and demands tinkering by admin to keep it working. Phooey. I keep my boxes simple. No DHCP for desktops and servers. Period.

These kind of Realtek wired NICs often complain about missing firmware in dmesg, too, but then seem to work anyway.

If you do see those messages in the dmesg output, installing the non-free firmware-realtek will get rid of them...maybe even fix your original issue.

I did run ethtool and there was no connection. Also I didn't try any random repairs I simply installed the free version of the module which is included in the kernel as the r8168-dkms maintainer recommends. This recommendation was also in the details from

Code: Select all

~$ apt show r8168-dkms
Package: r8168-dkms
Version: 8.043.02-1
Priority: extra
Section: non-free/kernel
Source: r8168
Maintainer: Andreas Beckmann <anbe@debian.org>
Installed-Size: 1,135 kB
Depends: dkms (>= 2.1.0.0)
Homepage: https://github.com/mtorromeo/r8168
Download-Size: 88.0 kB
APT-Sources: http://deb.debian.org/debian stable/non-free amd64 Packages
Description: dkms source for the r8168 network driver
 r8168 is the Linux device driver released for RealTek RTL8111B/RTL8168B,
 RTL8111/RTL8168, RTL8111C/RTL8111CP/RTL8111D(L), RTL8168C/RTL8111DP/RTL8111E,
 RTL8168E/RTL8111F/RTL8411, RTL8111G/RTL8111GUS/RTL8411B(N), RTL8118AS
 Gigabit Ethernet controllers with PCI-Express interface.
 .
This driver should only be used for devices not yet supported by the
 in-kernel driver r8169. Please see the README.Debian for instructions how
 to report bugs against r8169 that made it necessary to use r8168-dkms.
 .
 Installation of the r8168-dkms package will disable the in-kernel r8169
 module. To re-enable r8169, the r8168-dkms package must be purged.
 .
 This package provides the dkms source code for the r8168 kernel modules.
 Kernel source or headers are required to compile these modules.
I guess I should have mentioned that but I was trying not to make a huge initial post.
Also like you said in your later rant things have gotten complicated in linux, especially networking stuff
and I'm not even sure whats being used for networking now and what isn't cause theres multiple network interfaces in /etc/
I was going to read this but I'm not even sure whats relevant anymore.

I wish debain doc was like the arch-wiki.

Thank you guys for the suggestions I will look more into the recommendations and the problem and get back to you.

No connection means bad cable, bad ethernet port or bad NIC itself.

Rephrasing my question in a different way, maybe will get an answer this time: :?:

What do you get with the output of (as sysadmin)

r8169 kernel driver is functional without firmware, loading firmware only adds some power saving feature if I recall correctly. I's say firmware (or lack thereof) is not the problem here.

Hey so, I'm sorry I posted this thread and haven't been able to do any checking of the Ethernet stuff. I have to write a kernel module for school so I haven't been home and honestly I have no idea what I'm doing. I'm working on a VM though so I'm not messing with my own computer.

I only use wifi at school so I can't check any of the stuff.
However as of the past few days my wifi has been behaving similarly to my Ethernet so I'm beginning to suspect this has nothing to do with Realtek.

The wifi has been doing the same thing it will work when I boot up then probably like after 2 minutes my internet connection is gone.
Then I do

Code: Select all

systemctl restart NetworkManager 
and it works after that.
This problem never happened with ethernet or wifi until about a month ago and I never turned power management on nor do I know how to even do that.

The usual suggestion is to turn power management off if you have random disconnects, since that's usually on by default. That's done by specifying the parameter in a [modulename].conf file someplace in /etc...a little googling will show you where. The exact parameter syntax is usually displayed in the output of

Code: Select all

modinfo [modulename]
as sysadmin

but I don't see any power saving params for the r8169 module.

Disable the power management with

Code: Select all

/sbin/iw dev wlp60s0 set power_save off
Make the change permanent with a udev rule:

Code: Select all

# /etc/udev/rules.d/70-wifi-powersave.rules
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="net", KERNEL=="wlp60s0", RUN+="/sbin/iw dev %k set power_save off"

Thanks guys I'm gonna look into this stuff. Any idea why this would start occurring randomly? I haven't made any configurations to any power saving features and I have had this computer for over a year.
