Ethernet drops down always

Hello everyone,

I am working on HP ZBook Fury 16 G10 Mobile Workstation PC

I am running Fedora 42 KDE

Ethernet always drops down very frequently and I don’t know why:

I have did the research and found a thread in this discussion website, that I cannot find anymore, that suggested adding the following options to GRUB config:

pcie_port_pm=off pcie_aspm.policy=performance

but after reboot, it is the same issue.

Once I click disconnect and connect on my ethernet interface, internet goes back immediately.

Here is my network adapter:

$ lspci | grep net

00:1f.6 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Device 0dc7 (rev 11)

Here is my kernel config:

$ uname -a

Linux techleef 6.17.8-200.fc42.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Fri Nov 14 04:52:44 UTC 2025 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Does anyone knows the solution ?

Thank you

I have no solution, at this moment, but after a brief skirmish with Ubuntu, I’m back to Fedora @ 43 – I have the same issue as you describe – basically I am running on wifi, as the wired is not connecting.

The same same network cable connects just fine on Fedora 43 on a old MacBook Pro - just not on my HP Zbook Fury 16 G10.

This does not appear to be the same as:

This topic addresses a problem with Fedora 42 on an HP ZBook Fury 16 G10 Mobile Workstation PC. Please start a new topic and provide the output from inxi -Fzxx as web-searchable pre-formatted text so others with similar issues and hardware can find it.

I will hang back a while … I think this might be a hardware problem

Modern manufacturing means most hardware problems other than damage by external factors are shared across the affected model(s). Posting the output from running inxi -Fzxx as web-discoverable pre-formated text helps other users with similar hardware and issues find your topic and may lead to a workaround or even fixes.

Sorry for the late reply.

I switched to Ubuntu at that day of the post, but then it turned out a Hardware issue (in the modem itself, not in the PC nor Fedora).

This still not a 100% confirmation that Fedora is not causing the problem because I was on Ubuntu in the first place with the same HW before switching to Fedora.

I am planning to switch back to Fedora and see.

Fedora 44 will be released soon. That means devs will be watching for issues, so if you do have an issue, there is a better chance that it will be noticed by someone who understands it.
