Wired network interface problem on Fedora kernel 6.9.4-200.fc40 and above
On Fedora kernel 6.8.11-300.fc40 works fine.

Update
After another restart I see I am getting IP now but I can’t ping my router.

❯ ping -c 4 192.168.0.1

Also I see the following error when I disconnect / connect cable.

Why can’t you use kernel 6.9.4? Especically as 6.8.11 is not working for you.

4

Sorry I update post, It stopped working on the kernel. 6.9.4-200.fc40 and above

Update
I see this error

Ok so if this works for you

driver=r8169 driverversion=6.9.4-200.fc40.x86_64 duplex=full firmware=rtl8125b-2_0.0.2 07/13/20

Where mine is

driver=r8169 driverversion=6.9.5-200.fc40.x86_64 duplex=full firmware=rtl8125b-2_0.0.2 07/13/20

Maybe this is not pure kernel issue but some update issue …
But what strange if boot from older kernel then it works …

7

I will update my kernel and report if there is breakage.

Edit: Running on 6.9.5-200.fc40.x86_64 without issue.

I have low expection that might work. But try using a different cable and a different switch port.

8

I found this post …
Looks exactly like my issue

Update
After I plugged to different port on my Internet Provider modem the internet started to working.

The big question
What changed after kernel update that I needed to plug to different port?
So this is something between modem/router and my network card.

9

I can only speculate…

Your modem/router has buggy firmware.
Your modem/router cached something against the port.

You may find that simply unplugged and replugging in the same port makes it work
as that can trigger events in the router.

You may find that powering off the modem/router waiting a few seconds then powering back up allows the original port to work again.

At the electical circuit level the connection is marginal.

Does the MAC address change based on the kernel you boot (should not change)?

10

I think the mac address was not changed.
Old kernel

❯ip addr show dev enp2s0
2: enp2s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 58:47:ca:74:30:a3 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 192.168.0.122/24 brd 192.168.0.255 scope global dynamic noprefixroute enp2s0
       valid_lft 84555sec preferred_lft 84555sec

Newer kernel

ip addr show dev enp2s0
2: enp2s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 58:47:ca:74:30:a3 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 192.168.0.122/24 brd 192.168.0.255 scope global dynamic noprefixroute enp2s0
       valid_lft 85668sec preferred_lft 85668sec

Also plugged / unplugged cable on the same port did not help.
Only switching to new port helped.

So yes looks like the IP modem cached something …

Update
I checked logs in IP modem
I see this error message on 19-06-2024 04:34:09
but maybe this is just warning …

19-06-2024 04:34:09	error	DHCP RENEW WARNING - Field invalid in response v4 option;CM-MAC=20:b8:2b:13:d2:1c;CMTS-MAC=00:a3:d1:5d:89:5f;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.1;

So maybe there is some issue with DHCP.

11

Today I faced the same issue after updating to kernel 6.10.6-200.fc40.x86_64. To fixed it i’ve done the following steps.

  1. Restarded the Fedora system to previous Kernel on grub menu
  2. Check if the network interface is active:
    nmcli device status
  3. Restart the network service:
    sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager
  4. Check network drivers:
    lspci -k | grep -A 3 -i network
  5. Install network packeges:
    sudo dnf install iproute net-tools traceroute nmap nc tcpdump ethtool mtr bind-utils curl wget wireshark iperf3 vnstat conntrack-tools whois

After that I just restarted to 6.10.6-200.fc40.x86_64. kernel and everything worked as expected
