Intel I219-V Ethernet keeps disconnecting reconnecting

Issues & Assistance Networking Support
1

I have been having this issue couple past weeks. Ethernet will keep disconnecting and connecting. It should not be a HW issue because when I booted to windows on same machine it worked fine. This usually happens right after boot but can sometimes happen randomly during usage. Dmesg is not very helpful al all…

It would help knowing if you’re wired or wireless. If WiFi the info inthe below thread may be of use to you. If WiFI the issue isn’t distro specific. I have Garuda, Reborn, and Arch and had the issue in all three, now with what’s in that thread Once connected it stays but it’s still about a minute after landing on the desktop before it actually connects instead of just being on.

Welcome to the Garuda forum @Enerccio. :waving_hand: :smiley:

Below are some very effective Ethernet troubleshooting tips you should try:

Be sure to restart both your computer and your router.

Test an alternate router if you could borrow one or have an old router in storage.

Make sure the firmware on your router is up to date.

Test different cable ports on the switch/router.

Try assigning your computer a static IP address via MAC address association through your router configuration utility.

ALWAYS test your connection with a high grade Ethernet cable replacement, (Cat6e or preferably Cat7e).

Test numerous alternate kernels.

Make sure your bios is up to date.

Test your connection using wifi if you have a WiFi dongle available. Does the same thing happen when using WiFi?

Test your connection using USB tethering with your Cel phone. Does the same thing happen when using USB phone tethering?

Test an alternate driver, (if available). There should be an alternate e1000e driver for Intel, and an alternate r8168 driver for Realtek Ethernet adapters.

Test several different Garuda live boot environments including xfce to see if your network connection performs properly there. If so, record important network componets that are in use on any live version that works correctly.

Test the linux-firmware-git package, (and reboot).

Power down your computer, then remove all AC & DC power sources. Unplug your Ethernet cable. Leave the computer without power for five minutes then restart.

Disable wake on LAN (WOL) if it is enabled.

Test different kernel boot parameters, such as:

 pcie_port_pm=off pcie_aspm.policy=performance

Test the above kernel parameters together, or test the kernel parameter below by itself:

pcie_aspm=off

When all else fails, reset your bios and router to the factory defaults. You will need to change some bios settings afterwards for proper Linux compatability. Usually you can save a backup of your current settings if performing a factory reset is worrisome.

Be sure to report on all suggestions that you try in detail.

Edit:

@Enerccio, It has been a week since your last response on your request for assistance. I provided you with a fairly extensive list of possible solutions you could try. As I have already mentioned, you need to report back on the results of suggestions forum assistants have put to you. Without proper feedback it is very difficult to assist you with finding a solution to your problem.

If you have already found a fix to your problem, please post back with your solution. That way other users dealing with similar issues can benefit from your findings. This helps to expand our forum’s reference and knowledge base, which benefits all Linux users.

Unfortunately none of those helped. There is zero issue when booted to windows so it can’t be technical issue with “router” or "cable. I can’t test various things because it is a work computer.

Power down your computer, then remove all AC & DC power sources. Unplug your Ethernet cable. Leave the computer without power for five minutes then restart.

How would this help?

That’s simple. You have a power supply. The supply need time to go on 0 V DC (capacitors)
If you measure over “earth”..you have a small DC..after some time..example a led goes then out. It can take from seconds to minutes.

To do: Pls make a bios update

Btw do you have maybe secure boot turned on bios?
