E1000 NIC driver issue after Core Update 170

Getting Started with IPFire Updates Trouble

Hi,

first and foremost, please note that this thread is only about e1000 NIC driver issues after upgrading to Core Update 170. For anybody affected by ASIX ax88179_178a driver issues, please refer to this thread.

@jemandaushessen: Does the connectivity situation become stable after you ran this command on your IPFire machine?

ethtool -K red0 gso off gro off tso off

There seems to be a long-standing issue with NICs using e1000, and disabling generic segmentation offloading (GSO) and alike features was often reported to improve the situation.

Thanks, and best regards,
Peter Müller
