This realtek NIC has never actually worked, neither with ubuntu nor debian I used to run
in the past. Now with gentoo i feel more ready to deal with it. I connect via a (functional) router. All drivers
are built in the kernel, there is no initramfs. The
lights at the Realtek eth do not light up, when I plug in the cable or bring
the interface up. CABLE IS OK. I initiate with openrc.

kernel config:
CONFIG_R8169=y
CONFIG_REALTEK_PHY=y

ip link
Code:

1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000

Code:

lspci -nnk

01:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller [10ec:8168] (rev 03)
        Subsystem: ASRock Incorporation Motherboard (one of many) [1849:8168]
        Kernel driver in use: r8169



Now I notice in my dmesg:
Loading firmware: rtl_nic/rtl8168d-1.fw
8168 vs 8169, maybe it loads the wrong firmware?
I am emerging linux-firmware with savedconfig and see
if I can manually choose what firmware to load.
Hm, there is no rtl8169 firmware in the package, but lots of 8168

Code:

grep 8168 /etc/portage/savedconfig/sys-kernel/linux-firmware-20240220-r1

rtl_nic/rtl8168g-3.fw
rtl_nic/rtl8168g-2.fw

rtl_nic/rtl8168fp-3.fw
rtl_nic/rtl8168h-1.fw

Same lspci here.
Unfiltered linux-firmware.
r8169 works out of the box without any firmware loaded.

Any idea what you may have done to get firmware loaded?

Temporary rename the firmware file and reboot?

I used to get problems with r8169 on openSuse randomly with kernel updates. They had a package that would disable the r8169 kernel module and install the r8168 one for you.
I'm still learning my way round gentoo, but I think the equivalent here is basically to blacklist r8169, then emerging net-misc-r8168 would give you the r8168 module that should automatically be loaded at the next boot.

Out of curiosity, did you try with gentoo live cd?

I renamed the firmware file and rebooted.
Code:

dmesg | grep 8168

[    5.404934] r8169 0000:01:00.0: Direct firmware load for rtl_nic/rtl8168d-1.fw failed with error -2
[    5.404940] r8169 0000:01:00.0: Unable to load firmware rtl_nic/rtl8168d-1.fw (-2)

but still it does not connect:
Code:

ip link show eth0

2: eth0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:19:66:d7:c9:b5 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    altname enp1s0

Code:

dhcpcd eth0

dhcpcd-10.0.5 starting
DUID 00:01:00:01:2d:4c:66:31:00:19:66:d7:c9:b5
eth0: waiting for carrier
timed out
dhcpcd exited

I also does not connect with the rc service net.eth0
Neither with gentoo live cd did it work.
I will try with net-misc-r8168 and repost

Are you openrc, systemd?
uname -r?
Motherboard?
Bios firmware? Upgrade?

Here firmware load is only attempted upon explicit request, i.e. in kernel .config.
Can you post .config?

Code:

6.6.13-gentoo


I use openrc. This moment the kernel is being rebuilt without the realtek builtin module (I am booting without initramfs).

That's sound weird.

CARRIER is indeed reported "missing".

Do you have an alternate rj45 port on router side?

Do you have alternate computer to check initial rj45 port?

rtl8168d-1.fw seems quit dated as google mentions it around 2011...
Did you check current MB firmware on Manufacturer site?
Maybe Manufacturer has a bios update that explicity fixes r8169?

motherboard is asrock g31m-gs
bios upgrade... ok I'll search on how to do this
the port on the router is OK, tested with the other pc, same with the cable, tested on the other pc running
puppy linux. I also checked the nic pins, they shine clean as gold.
I tried with the r8168 module but it did not work, either with USE=use-firmware or not.

At Ubuntu which is quit old, someone suggest static IP.

Could be worth trying... at least for a test.
my dhcpcd.conf does that, IIRC.

Both MB V1 & V2 BIOS V1.80 seem to have an update for LAN rom.
Update carefully. :idea:

I'd rather check static IP and/or Windows PE first.
