Call for test: Realtek wired NIC re(4)

Tue Dec 1 04:43:17 PST 2020

I do not experience any hangs with updates, if you by updates you mean 
the whole "git pull; make build-all install-all" thing.

I have a small "mini" pc that has two RealTek NICs. If the pc sits idle 
for more than an hour I lose network connectivity. I can not access 
anything on my networks or on any external site. I have to do a "sudo 
service netif restart" to restore network capabilities. It happens only 
on that machine. I'm not sure if it's a BIOS setting or something else.
