[18:38] <jafa> Hi guys, I am seeing a problem where the onboard NIC works perfectly for installing Ubuntu Server 22.04 LTS, works perfectly on boot, but after a few days it reports no link (and no lights). Reinstalling the OS recovers it again and today I discovered manually running dhclient wakes it up and it starts working
[18:39] <jafa> when I run dhclient dmesg logs "RTL8226B_RTL8221B 2.5Gbps PHY r8169-0-600:00: attached PHY driver (mii_bus:phy_addr=r8169-0-600:00, irq=MAC)" then logs link up
[18:39] <jafa> also noticed that Ubuntu isn't doing the usual waiting-for-dhcp delay during bootup
[18:40] <jafa> running netplan commands does not make a difference, only running dhclient does
[18:41] <jafa> problem may related to adding/removing nvme drives (non OS drive)
[18:47] <jafa> huh - I just added the macaddress to the netplan yaml and it came up on boot
[23:18] <NekitaNet> Hi all; Installing ubuntu server 22.04 and am wondering; Why is the AMD64 microcode package available for remove after installing the linux-lowlatency and removing the linux-generic kernel set?
