[EN] [Solved] Wired network doesn't work
« on: 2015/05/29, 17:54:45 »
I have a Realtek chip, and I have installed the realtek-firmware package.
02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 06)


The network worked a few days ago, but something must have changed with an update that does not work now. The eth0 interface exists but does not connect. I tested the cable with another pc and it works perfectly.


I've tried to install the r8168-dkms package, but it try to remove all kernels images.


Thanks!!!

Hi ajavibp,

do you have the firmware "firmware-realtek" (Debian package) installed?

 This package contains the binary firmware for some Ethernet adapters with
 the RTL8111/RTL8168 chips supported by the r8169 driver; and wireless
 network cards with the RTL8188, RTL8192, RTL8712, RTL8723 and RTL8821
 chips supported by the r8192_pci, r8192s_usb, r8712u, rtl8188eu,

Hi,
if there are other error messages in the journal available regarding the network or the hardware driver?

Please post the output of the commands (as root):

# inxi -v5
# systemctl --failed --no-pager
# ifconfig

I solved the problem with anacron, a missing directory, but not the other. I do not know if will be related to the network fault.

I just updated to systemd 220-2 and my eth0.network unit is being ignored (I use systemd-networkd). I enabled wlan (had it rfkill'ed) and wlan0.network unit is working correctly.


So I assume something during boot is skipping the network initialization. A brief look at the journal didn't give me any useful information. Will investigate further later/tonight.

I had the same problem. The new systemd 220-3 solved it.

I've also updated to 220-3 but still no dice. Networkd does parse/handle my eth0.network unit, e.g. it sets the MTU as specified there and if I set a static IP address it works OK, but no DHCP. With my wlan0.network, which specifies "DHCP=ipv4" it works as intended.


For now I'll keep my eth0 with a static address..

Just updated to 220-4 and reset eth0 to be "DHCP=ipv4" and it's working again.
No idea what was wrong. The changelog doesn't seem to suggest anything relevant.


As a side note (and to complicate things further), when updating to 220-4 and before rebooting I also purged ifupdown, which wasn't (supposedly) doing anything useful in my computer.

I have 220-4, but wired network doesn't work. I've tried adding the eth0 interface to /etc/network/interfaces and doing ifup manually, with the same result.


Can you tell me what you did? Thanks!

I don't have /etc/network/interfaces as I don't use ifupdown. I use systemd-networkd where you define the network interfaces in /etc/systemd/network (I'm not at home but I'm 99% sure the path is correctly written).

When I'm home I can post my settings. As a starting point, I refer to this link: https://www.joachim-breitner.de/blog/664-Switching_to_systemd-networkd
It pretty much describes what you need for eth0 and wlan0 using wpa_supplicant in roaming mode (which is what I use).

Note that at least in my case unless I rfkill wlan0 both interfaces go up each with a different address. The latest systemd finally supports the RouteMetric option to give more weight to e.g. eth0 vs wlan0. So far it hasn't worked reliably though (for me, at least).

This is something I still have to investigate. Previously I used a bonding interface to have seamless failover from eth0 to wlan0, which worked OK but didn't work with systemd-networkd (it may work now, systemd changes a lot).

Can you tell me what you did? Thanks!

I just realized that perhaps your problem is on a lower level. Can you try to setup your networking manually for testing?

(adjust the addresses as necessary)
# ifconfig eth0 down
# ifconfig eth0 up 192.168.178.10 netmask 255.255.255.0
# route add default gw 192.168.178.1 eth0

Make sure you have something sensible in /etc/resolv.conf (8.8.8.8 is a good choice for testing) and then see if you have connectivity.

If this works you can rule out hardware/firmware/driver issues and focus on the configuration aspects.
