r8152 2-1.4:1.0 enx646266d00873: NETDEV WATCHDOG: CPU: 0: transmit queue 0 timed out

[m0ppers]

First of all thanks to the people maintaining armbian for helios64. I recently upgraded (well I reinstalled) to trixie and everything mostly runs stable for me.

 

However I have a problem with the 2.5GB adapter. It is connected to a 2.5GB switch and when for example running iperf3 I get proper results close to 2.5 GBit. So in general it seems to be running ok. I have a DLNA server (minidlna) running on that machine and when I stream from my TV (streaming via VLC from my laptop triggers the same problems) the network connection drops for a moment and works again after a few seconds (which you can guess is super annoying when watching something). I am not sure what exactly is triggering this. most of the time the network is super stable but during streaming I get hickups.

 

This is what my kernel log spits out when this is happending:

```

the usb related messages are not always there but the r8152 related messages are always there.

 

I found a similar problem here: https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/issues/22130

I tried replacing the firmware but that didn't help and I later found out that the helios64 uses a different firmware so that explains why it didn't help:

 

```

```

 

does anybody know what is going on? I am quite sure that the problem wasn't there before the upgrade (but I might be mistaken because I only started observing the helios64 again after the upgrade. also it seems to be related to the amount of network traffic going on. i.e. lower bitrate streams seem to not trigger the problem).

 

Streaming via the 1GBit NIC is working fine.
