Description jeff deifik 2023-12-14 15:56:42 CET
Description of problem:
I have a realtek RTL 8125 2.5g ethernet card.
It worked fine with mageia 8. It worked fine with early versions of mageia 9.
I updated all the rpm's as of today, and I have kernel 6.5.11.
The realtek card is detected in the network control center, but when I plug ethernet into it, DHCP doesn't configure an IP address. The card works fine today under windows 10.
Fortunately, I have other ethernet ports, so I can still use the computer, though slowly.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible: 100%


Steps to Reproduce:
1. boot
2. no DHCP from realtek card
3. plug ethernet into gigabit ethernet, and cry

Sorry to hear about this. Can we take it that the problem happened just with kernel 6.5.11 ?
To give some Ethernet info, please post O/P of:
 $ inxi -n
 $ lspci | grep thernet
or
 $ lsusb | grep thernet
and also add an attachment to the bug with the O/P of:
 $ journalctl -b --no-hostname | grep eth
which should show all Ethernet related journal messages.

There is a new kernel in core/Updates_Testing: kernel-6.5.13-1.mga9
If you can get that, it would be worth a try: bug 32623

Meanwhile, assigning to kernel team.

Comment 3 jeff deifik 2023-12-14 22:08:09 CET
the realtek 2.5g network card works perfectly with the kernel 6.4.16-desktop-3.mga9

99% sure it is a kernel issue.
Comment 4 jeff deifik 2024-01-01 16:07:29 CET
6.5.13 does *not* fix the problem.
Comment 5 Morgan Leijström 2024-01-01 16:21:11 CET
Have you tried the new firmwares?
Bugs 32679, 32680


Also, you could try the linus variant of latest kernel
- linus is less patched by us.

Comment 6 jeff deifik 2024-01-01 16:38:17 CET
I am not sure about the new firmware, but my system was fully patched today (Jan 1 2024)

Also, when shutting down the system, systemd hangs on something related to ip and after over 500 seconds, I manually powered it down. I presume it is related to the networking issue I am having.

When I use an older kernel with working networking, the system shuts down normally.
Comment 7 Morgan Leijström 2024-01-01 18:36:35 CET
The firmware updates are still in testing repos, see the bugs.
Comment 8 jeff deifik 2024-02-10 19:16:35 CET
Working now with kernel 6.6.14
Comment 9 Morgan Leijström 2024-02-10 21:42:06 CET
Thank you for the feedback :)

Resolution: (none) => FIXED
