Hi,

on a new installation of Sparky 4.0 from today, a ALX driven Ethernet port starts a connection on the attached cable, but falls down after several Seconds, if used in earnest. Excerpt from my /var/log/syslog after the last reboot:

Every time it went offline, i reconnected without problems. An "apt-get update" repeatedly stuck after some twenty lines or so, though.

Also, why the "renamed from eth0"? This plays havoc with any software expecting network interfaces to have 4 character names.

Can you try to put the interface up manually, as root?
ifup eth0
and show what happend.

Hi,

up to now, when the connection failed, i clicked it again in nm-applet's menu, causing a reconnection.
This restored the connection, but half an apt-get update later, it was down again.
Other than via Network Manager, i haven't tried the shell ifup and cannot now; i'm on the road and out of reach of a LAN cable for now.
So no, manual reconnection doesn't solve it IMHO.

Other forum elsewhere (siduction) had a post that systemd222 ( I believe it was 222) has new naming rules for networks.  I have not seen it yet (I am on sytemd223), possibly it only is applied for clean installs, will check more.  Not seen on Sparky4 enlightenment19 with connman (not network-manager) and systemd222-2 that has been up for a few weeks - sudo iwconfig shows wlan0  I will keep my eyes peeled for more on this.

Modified.  I couldn't find the thread on siduction, maybe it was on vsido.  But I found the same writer posting elsewhere

http://osdir.com/ ... is a mere reflection of https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=793374      I am not trying to understand all that they say, but the renaming thing might be fixed for you in 223-1

I am sorry I have no thoughts on the connection failing.  Except posibly "sudo ifup enp1s0" - but you have probably already tried that.
Search forum for "More info easier via inxi"    If requested -  no inxi, no help for you by  me.
