Limited connectivity, while dual-booting

Hello humans,
i have garuda and i dual-boot windows 10 with it , this problem only surfaced last week but i've been dual-booting for a long time, anyways when i open garuda everything looks normal for a minute then i get the limited connectivity notification and that's it, i tried disabling the firewall, restarting NetworkManager, i used timeshift to go back before the latest update and still not working. what could this be? windows's internet is working normally so this is just linux

this is my garuda-inxi output:

You may start from updating system packages. If what you report is a bug, it may have been fixed with some package upgrade.

Other thing to note is WinOS is changing hardware chips (network/bluetooth is known for that) that affect Linux, when on dual-boot.
That’s why we suggest to not dual-boot with non-Linux OSes.

If the update doesn't solve, I'd also try changing your DNS server.

It is important to point out, as petsam has, the importance of regular updates since Garuda is a rolling distribution. Perhaps a more frequent scenario can help.

Generally-speaking, the very first thing that should be done before posting a help request, if possible, is a complete system update and reboot.

Be sure you disable MAC Address randomization, and then reboot both your router and computer. Sometimes Windows using one Mac address and Linux using a different one can cause issues.

You did not state if this was purely an Ethernet issue, or if you were attempting to use Wifi. If you have a wifi card and it is now not being detected, then you will likely need to reset your bios to the factory default. Windows often interferes with networking on a hardware level, and a bios reset is required to initiate the network adapter to work in Linux again.

I also see your Ethernet speed is greatly reduced from what it should be. You will likely need to raise your speed manually in Network Manager, rather than using the autodetect setting.

It would also be a good idea to test out the LTS kernel to see if that improves your connectivity.

I'm also wondering if you are using the in kernel e1000e driver module, or are you using the e1000e driver from the AUR. If you are using the e1000e driver from the AUR, then you should rebuild it. If you are not using the AUR driver version, then it might be worth testing it out. Sometimes the AUR driver works for some people when the kernel module won't.

Setting a static IP address in your router may also help with your issue. Usually this is best done via MAC Address association in your router settings.

Good luck to you up there in the Great White North.

Good day, eh. :smile:
