It is perhaps worth mentioning that there are only two patches to r8169 in this time frame:
commit 1bcf165ac6556dc55a596d524b8187d1ba7a8c7d Author: Zhu Yanjun <[email protected]> Date: Sun Mar 12 05:02:54 2017 -0400 r8169: replace init_timer with setup_timer Replace init_timer with setup_timer to simplify the source code. Signed-off-by: Zhu Yanjun <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <[email protected]> commit 6fa1ba61520576cf1346c4ff09a056f2950cb3bf Author: Philippe Reynes <[email protected]> Date: Thu Feb 23 22:34:43 2017 +0100 net: realtek: r8169: use new api ethtool_{get|set}_link_ksettings The ethtool api {get|set}_settings is deprecated. We move this driver to new api {get|set}_link_ksettings. As I don't have the hardware, I'd be very pleased if someone may test this patch. Signed-off-by: Philippe Reynes <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <[email protected]> The difficulty of reproducing indicates it may be a timing-related issue, and the failure to negotiate a link suggests that the second patch may also be involved. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1841040 Title: r8169 ethernet sometimes doesn't work after cold boot/boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1841040/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
