22.7 Legacy Series / Re: Connection drop on PPPoE
November 17, 2022, 05:43:34 PM
Hey I am having the same issue as OP. Realtek NICs, PPPoE dropping with no usable log output, just "newwanip unable to get new ip" etc.

01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 15)
02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 15)


This is on a Wyse thin client that seems to be handling OPNsense very well, other than these connection drops.

I just enabled 'Prevent interface removal' on the WAN interface, but I won't know if that helps or not until the connection drops again, or doesnt, which seems to happen at completely random times. Sometimes I'll have hours of uptime, other times less than an hour.

UPDATE:
Setting prevent interface removal did not help. I am now trying with the realtek vendor drivers which i was hoping not to have to try, but I'm willing to sacrifice a bit of performance for stability. WIll update again if issue is resolved (or not) by the vendor drivers.
