z00100 Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 So....... I upgraded to 6.8.0-rc9 to test it out. I have a MSI Tomahawk B450Max motherboard and it seems that the NIC isn't picking up DHCP. It autoconfigures to 169.254.142.227. Furthermore, the connectivity light on my switch is off for the port it's plugged into. Basically it seems the driver(s) for the NIC are not loading. How can I either fix this or revert back to the older version? /edit The LAN chipset is: Realtek® 8111H Gigabit LAN controller Thanks! Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Ideally you should have posted this to the thread for the RC9 release rather than in the General Support area ! Have you tried removing (or renaming) the config/network.cfg file from the flash drive so that you revert to default network settings? It is not unknown for an upgrade to need changes to the network setup. To be able to see what is really the problem we would need your diagnostics zip file. If you have a directly. One tee screen_keyboard this can be obtained from the GUI via Tools->Diagnostics or from the CLI using the ‘diagnostics’ command. Quote Link to comment
Brad Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 I had the same issue. Renaming the /boot/config/network.cfg file and rebooting resolved it for me. Many thanks. Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Do you have another NIC? eth0 might be using a different NIC after the upgrade, you check on Settings -> Network Settings -> Interface Rules after booting into GUI mode. Quote Link to comment
