Weird Gigabyte NIC behavior
by marrowsuck from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5AD6C)
Yesterday I installed a new SSD in my slackware-current workstation and after booting the kernel would not init any of my two NICs.
Code:lspci -k | grep -i Ethernet
03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 03)
Subsystem: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd Onboard Ethernet
04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 03)
Subsystem: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd Onboard EthernetThe kernel buffer showed this error.
Code:r8169: probe of 0000:03:00.0 failed with error -49Under the impression that this was somehow related to my hardware change, I disconnected the new SSD and replugged everything as before -- but no NICs.
After some digging I found this thread https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...nd-4175672462/ from april this year also on current. But that problem was related to a specific kernel and seemed to vanish after a kernel update.
Luckily FlinchX mentioned a SBo package for the r8168 driver ...and my two NICs are back.
So my problem is resolved but I'm puzzled what triggered this incident?
