Green and blue network down since upgrade core 190

Normal ??? 200000 lines !!! for the kernel logs

what is a martian source ?

martian source is a source that is transmitting network packets that the system don’t know how to route or is classified unwanted due to no requests from a client on the network.

What I would do is take screen shots of your settings, and backup settings and make a usb boot with the iso (via rufus) or burn it to a cd and load 190.

I recommend taking screen shots just in case the backup settings file is corrupted.

Hello everyone, the green network continues to drop intermittently while the blue one remains stable. Another solution was found by restarting the switch where the firewall/proxy is connected. Some ports on this switch are out of order.

The new switch arrives today; I will keep you informed, but I have the impression that the firewall is not the source of the problem.

Thank you and have a good day to all.

Changing the switch is a failure, the green network keeps dropping and I just found this error in the logs : e1000e 0000:00:1f.6 green0: Detected Hardware Unit Hang
I’m continuing the research, I’m tired


From memory, on another distro it was recommended to turn off eno and tso using ethtool to stop the hardware hanging. I can’t remember if this was for the e1000 or e1000e driver.

I agree, I do this : ethtool -K green0 gso off gro off tso off and restart ipfire

I wait


It is non-persistent so should be applied after IPF starts.

It was a e1000e driver that this was a problem with and that driver has had that problem on and off since at least 2013.

That post also mentions about needing to put the ethtool command into rc.local otherwise whenever you reboot those options will be turned on again.
