Ethernet Not Working After Update

So I can’t seem to find an answer to my problem, most search results come up for wifi frustratingly. I had recently done a system update to get all my apps up to date, and upon doing a restart later on I noticed my ethernet connection was connected but had no traffic. I could use my wifi just fine still, just noting on the ethernet. So figuring I must had screwed something up somehow, and wanting to do a fresh install anyways, so I wiped and reload the os. The problem was fixed, ethernet was running just fine again. Did the normal fresh install updates, all looked fine. Shut down for a bit, came back and ethernet is dead again. So now I have no idea what the problem is. I can again still use wifi just fine, but I prefer a wired connect over it. Any insight would be helpful.

Hi!!

Please post your garuda-inxi like this :

Without it we won’t be able to help
And my first suggestion would be to try LTS kernel

Failed units:

Install the r8168-dkms or r8168 driver and then reboot.

Disable MAC Address Randomization and then reboot both your router & computer.

Try installing the linux-lts kernel and reboot into the lts kernel.

Try installing the r8168-lts driver with the lts kernel and reboot into the linux-lts kernel.

Disable IPv6 in Network Manager:

In the connection properties IPv6 tab ensure “IPv6 is required for this connection” is not selected (ignore). In the IPv4 tab select “IPv4 is required for this connection”. Conversely, if IPv6 is already disabled, then try re-enabling it.

So I tried both drivers, neither worked. As far as kernel hopping goes, I think I’d rather just go back with simpler distro. Garuda has a lot of features that I really like, but I’ve had nothing but problems with it from day one. Probably just going to go back to mint, only used it for email, chat, and youtube anyways. Thanks for trying, but I’m done banging my head against problems I don’t understand at all.

Can you check if this workaround works?

If it doesn’t then take a look at this. Just one minor detail they blacklist the r8169 module since that’s what they had been using before but since you are using the r8168 module please blacklist that instead. Apart from that everything remains same including the packages you download. (You both have exact same network card).
