I am having an issue where eth1 is throwing some messages and stops responding. Restarting networking doesn’t work and also just bringing down eth1 with ‘ifdown’ doesn’t fix it. I have never seen anything like these messages:

eth1: no IPv6 routers present r8169 0000:03:00.0: eth1: rtl_counters_cond == 1 (loop: 1000, delay: 10). r8169 0000:03:00.0: eth1: rtl_chipcmd_cond == 1 (loop: 100, delay: 100). r8169 0000:03:00.0: eth1: rtl_phyar_cond == 1 (loop: 20, delay: 25). r8169 0000:03:00.0: eth1: rtl_phyar_cond == 1 (loop: 20, delay: 25). r8169 0000:03:00.0: eth1: rtl_phyar_cond == 1 (loop: 20, delay: 25). r8169 0000:03:00.0: eth1: rtl_phyar_cond == 1 (loop: 20, delay: 25). r8169 0000:03:00.0: eth1: rtl_phyar_cond == 1 (loop: 20, delay: 25). r8169 0000:03:00.0: eth1: rtl_phyar_cond == 1 (loop: 20, delay: 25). r8169 0000:03:00.0: eth1: rtl_phy_reset_cond == 1 (loop: 100, delay: 1). r8169 0000:03:00.0: eth1: rtl_phyar_cond == 1 (loop: 20, delay: 25). r8169 0000:03:00.0: eth1: rtl_phyar_cond == 1 (loop: 20, delay: 25). r8169 0000:03:00.0: eth1: rtl_phyar_cond == 1 (loop: 20, delay: 25). r8169 0000:03:00.0: eth1: rtl_phyar_cond == 1 (loop: 20, delay: 25). r8169 0000:03:00.0: eth1: rtl_phyar_cond == 1 (loop: 20, delay: 25). r8169 0000:03:00.0: eth1: rtl_phyar_cond == 1 (loop: 20, delay: 25). r8169 0000:03:00.0: eth1: rtl_phyar_cond == 1 (loop: 20, delay: 25). r8169 0000:03:00.0: eth1: link up

    Googling on rtl_counters_cond finds a lot of folks talking about “laptop mode” error, and somebody mentions “zero configuration”, which I assume they mean zeroconf. Is this a laptop? Is this wired or not? If it’s wired, and not a laptop, I’d shut down avahi-daemon and chkconfig it off (and the same with NetworkMangler, er, Manager), and see what happens.

    Another possibility, if wired, check your patch cord, and make sure it’s plugged in securely at both ends.

    I found those same resources. This is NOT a laptop and it is wired. Has been for a few years.

    I tried ‘service avahi-daemon stop’ and ‘service NetworkManager stop’ and both are unrecognized.

    I replaced the cable completely just in case and nada.
