Luca Mastromatteo, the issue you are reporting is an upstream one. Could you please report this problem following the instructions verbatim at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/kernel to the appropriate mailing list (TO nic_swsd CC netdev)?
Please provide a direct URL to your post to the mailing list when it becomes available so that it may be tracked. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: latest-bios-1.31 ** Description changed: - I'm in trouble with my notebook Acer Aspire E5-571G and its realtek ethernet controller using the kernel module r8169, particularly at school when I'm connecting with my Ethernet cable to its network. It just basically doesn't see my cable, like it is disconnected, this problem came after I've changed it. And I've find on the net how to fix it using ethtool `ethtool -s enp1s0f1 autoneg off speed 100 duplex full` - Maybe this cable is maximum 100Mbps capable and the driver can't manage how to get it working with a gigabit network, since with other (Gigabit) better cables I don't have this problem. Also I don't have problems in Windows or with other computers using the same cable. (Windows connection speed with this cable is 100mbit) I've tried also with a different computer using the same kernel driver with the same LAN chip and the same problem happened. Since the realtek r8168 works flawlessly but it disconnects randomly I prefer using the one provided by the linux kernel. + At school when I connect with my Ethernet cable to its network it + doesn't see my cable, like it is disconnected.
