 Posted: Fri Jan 24, 2025 9:29 am Post subject: ethernet card not waking up when cable plugged in |
 |
|
Dear Community,
since last year I'm having trouble with my ethernet card.
When I plug in the LAN cable into the NIC, it does not detect the carrier / the link. It seems to be in some sleeping state. No matter how often I replug the cable, it justs sits there doing nothing. This happens after reboot or resume and also when the cable is unplugged and replugged again. In /var/log/messages I can see that it detects the link going down - but nothing shows up there about it coming up again.
No error messages.
What immediately activates the NIC again:
* Bringing the interface down and up again with ifconfig.
* Querying the interface with ethtool: simply issueing wakes it up, makes it see the carrier and starts the dhcp process.
Does anybody else has seen this? What can I do? It is of course not too much work to just type ethtool in a shell every time, but it should work automatically.
See also (similar but not the same) this topic.
Some info about my setup:

drv probe link

The output of the last command in the non-working state just differs in that it says Link NOT detected, and of course not speed, duples, mdi-x info. Strange: after the first query the PHYAD changed from 2 to 1, where it stays then.
| Code: | ethtool --show-eee enp0s31f6
EEE Settings for enp0s31f6:
EEE status: enabled - inactive
Tx LPI: 17 (us)
Supported EEE link modes: 100baseT/Full
1000baseT/Full
Advertised EEE link modes: 100baseT/Full
1000baseT/Full
Link partner advertised EEE link modes: Not reported |
Switching off eee not changes anything, however. |

Try passing SmartPowerDownEnable=0 to the driver. This is what I can think of.
You should have investigated back when the issue appeared. Not it would be a lot harder to trace it. You could have reviewed what changed and already have a clue what to look for.
You can still check what kernel was emerged around that time in /var/log/emerge.log. It might be a change in the kernel drivers.
Best Regards,
Georgi |

freifunk_connewitz,
Maybe you need fplugd?
| Code: | $ eix ifplugd
* sys-apps/ifplugd
Available versions: 0.28-r11 0.28-r12 {doc selinux}
Homepage: http://0pointer.de/lennart/projects/ifplugd/
Description: Brings up/down ethernet ports automatically with cable detection |
That it exists is all I know about it ... well, it has a man page too.
