I experience 100% packet loss, floppy interface state. I'm only able to use the interface when configured to media 10baseT/UTP. Below are my system details: # dmesg | grep rgephy0 rgephy0: <RTL8251/8153 1000BASE-T media interface> PHY 1 on miibus0 rgephy0: none, 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 10baseT-FDX-flow, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, 100baseTX-FDX-flow, 1000baseT-FDX, 1000baseT-FDX-master, 1000baseT-FDX-flow, 1000baseT-FDX-flow-master, auto, auto-flow # pciconf -lvcev re0 re0@pci0:3:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x86771043 chip=0x816810ec rev=0x15 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.' device = 'RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller' class = network subclass = ethernet cap 01[40] = powerspec 3 supports D0 D1 D2 D3 current D0 cap 05[50] = MSI supports 1 message, 64 bit cap 10[70] = PCI-Express 2 endpoint MSI 1 max data 128(128) RO link x1(x1) speed 2.5(2.5) ASPM disabled(L0s/L1) cap 11[b0] = MSI-X supports 4 messages, enabled Table in map 0x20[0x0], PBA in map 0x20[0x800] ecap 0001[100] = AER 2 0 fatal 0 non-fatal 2 corrected ecap 0002[140] = VC 1 max VC0 ecap 0003[160] = Serial 1 01000000684ce000 ecap 0018[170] = LTR 1 ecap 001e[178] = unknown 1 Corrected = Receiver Error Bad DLLP # ifconfig re0 media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex # ifconfig re0 re0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 options=8009b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,LINKSTATE> ether b0:6e:bf:81:cd:56 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255 media: Ethernet 100baseTX <full-duplex> status: active nd6 options=29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL> root@viper:~ # ping -q -c 10 192.168.0.1 PING 192.168.0.1 (192.168.0.1): 56 data bytes --- 192.168.0.1 ping statistics --- 10 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100.0% packet loss # ifconfig re0 media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex # ifconfig re0 re0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 options=8009b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,LINKSTATE> ether b0:6e:bf:81:cd:56 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255 media: Ethernet 100baseTX <full-duplex> status: active nd6 options=29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL> # ping -q -c 10 192.168.0.1 PING 192.168.0.1 (192.168.0.1): 56 data bytes --- 192.168.0.1 ping statistics --- 10 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100.0% packet loss # dmesg | grep rgephy0 rgephy0: <RTL8251/8153 1000BASE-T media interface> PHY 1 on miibus0 rgephy0: none, 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 10baseT-FDX-flow, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, 100baseTX-FDX-flow, 1000baseT-FDX, 1000baseT-FDX-master, 1000baseT-FDX-flow, 1000baseT-FDX-flow-master, auto, auto-flow # netstat -ni Name Mtu Network Address Ipkts Ierrs Idrop Opkts Oerrs Coll re0 1500 <Link#1> b0:6e:bf:81:cd:56 603 0 0 681 0 0 re0 - 192.168.0.0/2 192.168.0.20 538 - - 624 - - The following bug IDs seem relevant, 186401 and 193743; however, I am using FreeBSD/12.1-RELEASE-p1 so it should be patched -- right?
Reviewing logs for the last two boots of FreeBSD/12.0-RELEASE-p10, this seems to be a post upgrade issue since I am unable to see link state changes logged.
A UEFI/BIOS setting was interfering with operations of the network device. The fix was to Enable "UEFI Network Access" while Disabling "PXE Boot" for both IP versions, since I don't use PXE.
