Might be a duplicate of #83143.
This works well for me and other people, so as you already mentioned the
reason might be that your hardware setup does not have a link beat
('carrier detect'). We need to find a solution for that.
Just to check this theory, can you please do the following:
- pull out the ethernet cable
- plug it back in
- copy&paste the output of "dmesg |grep link" here
Thank you!
