October 28, 2025Oct 28 Hello everyone,I'm on 6.12.10 (I know, it's a bit outdated) and I'm trying to upgrade. Proceeding with the download and subsequent reboot, I find that the server can no longer contact the outside world, as if the network card has failed.This happens with any version I try to install. I am forced to downgrade and revert to my current version.What can I check? Can I paste my diagnostic file for you? Either post-upgrade when the network stops working, or better yet, a previous one to check if there is any setting that then conflicts with the actual upgrade.

October 29, 2025Oct 29 Community Expert Solution The Realtek driver needed is being blacklisted; remove /config/modprobe.d/r8169.conf from the flash drive and reboot.

October 29, 2025Oct 29 Community Expert It would not have happened automatically; most likely either it was manually blacklisted, or at some point the Realtek driver plugin was installed and not correctly uninstalled.
