Sid: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth1 (r8169): transmit queue 0 timed out

[Grzegorz Sójka]

Hi there,

I have following integrated network adapter:

# lspci -s 02:00
02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 06)

By a heavy traffic i get the following error:
NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth1 (r8169): transmit queue 0 timed out

As a workaround a turned off jumbo frames support. Is there any other
solution making it possible to use jumbo frames??

Thanks for any help in advance.

Looks like this:

so at least you're neither alone nor crazy.

This is slightly different problem. I don't use suspend (this is desktop
machine) and they do not mention jumbo frames.

Which kernel is having the problems? Does it work with a different
kernel?

What does
dmesg | grep r8169
show? (you can delete the MAC address from that if you'd prefer) How about
ethtool -k eth1 | grep :\ on

Hello,

Same problem for me since... a long time.
I use bonding and jumbo frames.

As my chipset is a 8168, I finally use the proprietary driver, vie the r8168-
dkms package.
Sometimes, compatibility with the kernel breaks, and I have to switch back to
in tree kernel r8169 driver, until the problem is solved.
