Sorry for the late reply!

4.16.1 and 4.19.0: had no network at first, left Ethernet LED flashing, did modprobe r8169, LEDs out but the network went up!

No clue as to why it's not auto-detected on 4.19/16!

Arti,

I saw you have tested the test case 1. That has confirmed what I would like to see: running the latest kernel, unplug/replug the cable still does not bring the card up for detection. Let me write another test below.

mpmc,

Please repeat test 1. You've used the wrong version :) (tld-2 is to be trashed, not usable! )

1. Go back to kernel linux-4.20.6-kirkwood-tld-1. Reboot and do these following.

Unplug the ethernet cable, and replug. What are dmesg logs, if any, when you do that?

Please try this.


1. Go back to the working kernel linux-4.19.x. Reboot. Login and turn off WOL.

ethtool -s eth0 wol d

2. Reboot and check WOL status to make sure it is off.

ethtool eth0

3. Go back to the latest kernel 4.20.x. Reboot. Observer serial console log to see if there is any change in network card behavior.

So that was not because of the WOL change in mainline, after all.

It is strange that now you don't see the module starts early in dmesg with kernel 4.20.x like before. It is supposed to be in-kernel module. Not something you have to modprobe.

Did those all steps, with same result like @mpmc
And modprobing r8169 module - no effect:
[rtorrent@zyxel ~]$ sudo modprobe r8169
[rtorrent@zyxel ~]$ lsmod

mpmc,

How about this. Go back to the kernel linux-4.20.6-kirkwood-tld-1. Reboot. Login with serial console.

Back up the current version
/lib/modules/4.20.6-kirkwood-tld-1/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/realtek/r8169.ko

Copy this attached version of r8169 to that folder.

And modprobe r8169.

My bad: I've just checked: kernel 4.20.6-kirkwood-tld-1 was built with r8169 as module (not in-kernel). That explained why it was not up early, and you have to modprobe it.

Re: Zyxel 310. No ethernet since the 4.20 kernel on Arch - is it working in Debian?

mpmc,

Damn :) that means there were changes in the module interface, too, from older version to the current module version.

Hoping to avoid a bisect, I was just trying a few potential shortcuts. But looks like that is not going to work.

Thank for trying!

@bodhi

I wonder if they've fixed it in 5.0? I'd build it myself to see but like I say I tried before and the cross compile just hung on deb unstable

I'm more than happy to test anything else you can think of though!

Cheers!

Kernel 5.0 will be released in a week. Perhaps we should wait till then.

I tried 5.0.rc8 unfortunately that still has this issue too.

Would be interesting to see which of these commits caused the issue!

https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commits/master/drivers/net/ethernet/realtek/r8169.c

Maybe applying this patch will help - https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/883134/

I'll give it a try and report back when I can!

Problem solved in 5.0.4-1-ARCH #1 PREEMPT Sun Mar 24 23:39:21 UTC 2019 ! Network is fully working on the new kernel.
It was connected to the pci bus issue, like mr Heiner Kallweit from Arch pointed out.
Thanks

This bug was a hard one. Only people who have seen the PCI issue recently on the mailing list could relate to that quickly like Heiner Kallweit did!
