The LAN connection is lost. Realtek RTL8125 2.5GbE driver is not loaded
#2

From the stack dump it is not immediately clear where the problem comes from but the fact that there is a message mentioning r8169/enp2s0 with the same timestamp gives a clear indication it has something to do with the Ethernet port.

Is the Ethernet a port on you motherboard or it is some kind of PCIe card or attached via USB?

I have changed three different LAN cables and tested two routers (TPLink Acher 600 <-> Huawei B525), but the error always comes back after about a day. I can’t get rid of the error situation other than by rebooting.

I still have to try something like that, when the LAN connection doesn’t work, I switch to a wi-fi connection and remove the (non-working) LAN connection and a create it again.

Would there be any additional information that I could take when the problem occurs again?

You could use the r8168-kmp-default and r8168-blacklist-r8169 from the Packman Repo, that is the native Realtek Driver.

I already tried it once, but I didn’t know how to do it the right way, so the mini PC got stuck.
Could you advise me the commands, it would probably work better :wink:

I found these versions:

You can blacklist it.

Its an not build right by me…
I will change it in a few days.

Thank you very much for your help! (in Finnish: Kiitos paljon avustasi!)

#15

Does it work?
Or does it work not?

#16

Works just fine. I thought I’d wait a couple of days and report if there were any interruptions to the LAN connection.

#17

Ok thanks for your comment.

#18

No interruptions so far.
Driver r8125 works well. I’ll monitor the situation, I’ll let you know if the connection breaks in the same way as before.

#19

r8125-kmp-default and r8125-ueficert work fine. No interruptions of any kind have occurred.
Will the programs be officially distributed later?

I think no, because of the licence …

Also the driver is inside the kernel r8169.
