After switching from LEAP 15.2 to Tumbleweed my ethernet access has become really weird. Downloading files, refreshing repos, etc is extremely slow, around 100 kbit/sec. I’m using NetworkManager.
With a wirless connection the speed is fine.
With a live Ubuntu 20.04 the ethernet speed is fine.
With SSH over the ethernet connection the speed is fine.
Then, please check the route to “download.opensuse.org” with “traceroute” and “traceroute6” – find the IP address with “dig” and “dig -t AAAA” – currently the IPv4 address is ‘195.135.221.134’ and the IPv6 address is ‘2001:67c:2178:8::13’ …
I’m currently reaching the openSUSE repositories in about, at most, 24½ ms – regardless of IPv4 or IPv6 …
If there is a connection definition file for this connection in “/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections”, you could try removing that file and rebooting. This forces a reconfiguration to defaults.
Thanks, I’ve done a dup almost every day now for a week and the problem remains. Sadly I have to use Tumbleweed to get support for my display driver. Need Linux 5.8 and LEAP 15.2 uses Linux 5.3. I’ll give Tumbleweed a few more weeks then I guess I might have to switch to Ubuntu. It hurts but having to choose between display support and ethernet support also hurts a bit.
No troubles. Create bug report about your situation.
You may use Leap + kernel from kernel:stable repo.
Or use Leap 15.2 + kernel from Leap 15.3.
Or use Leap 15.3 beta.
Or you may use add-in card 1000 MBit or even 100 MBit, PCIe or USB.
Or install driver manually: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/15817 .
I “solved” my LAN connection problem by simply buying a Intel PCI-E LAN card from Amazon for my ASUS Strix Z270 Kaby Lake mobo. I turned off the Intel LAN port in the BIOS and made a change to USB 3.1 front header to PCI 2-4 in the BIOS (the message came up while booting into the BIOS). The card runs at full GB LAN speeds. Easy $25 solution rather than trying to replace the missing Intel drivers from the latest LM builds.
Thanks, for the tips. Can’t use the kernel:stable repo since it breaks virtualbox but maybe a USB connected ethernet adapter might work. Or perhaps I’ll just use Wifi until the bug is fixed.
