Package: laptop-mode-tools
Version: 1.65-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

from some morning, when I boot my laptop I have a lot of lines like

Sep 25 08:10:06 hpdv5 laptop-mode: Laptop mode
Sep 25 08:10:06 hpdv5 laptop-mode: enabled, not active
Sep 25 08:10:06 hpdv5 kernel: [   76.966266] r8169 0000:03:00.0 eth0: rtl_phyar_cond == 1 (loop: 20, delay: 25).

Sep 25 08:10:06 hpdv5 kernel: [   76.967963] r8169 0000:03:00.0 eth0: rtl_phyar_cond == 1 (loop: 20, delay: 25).
Sep 25 08:10:06 hpdv5 kernel: [   76.968742] r8169 0000:03:00.0 eth0: rtl_phyar_cond == 1 (loop: 20, delay: 25).
Sep 25 08:10:06 hpdv5 avahi-daemon[2365]: Joining mDNS multicast group on interface eth0.IPv4 with address 192.168.1.40.
Sep 25 08:10:06 hpdv5 avahi-daemon[2365]: New relevant interface eth0.IPv4 for mDNS.
Sep 25 08:10:06 hpdv5 avahi-daemon[2365]: Registering new address record for 192.168.1.40 on eth0.IPv4.
Sep 25 08:10:06 hpdv5 kernel: [   76.997522] r8169 0000:03:00.0 eth0: link down
Sep 25 08:10:06 hpdv5 kernel: [   76.997613] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready

and the led on my router show the link down.

This above every few second (the router led blink like Christmas), mainly until
I log in into kdm/kde (thanks to knemo?), but sometimes I must restart the
network service.

Some notice:

- I unplug the battery and use the AC with an UPS (I haven't tried with the
  battery);

- I haven't IPv6 on my LAN and I have tried to disable it by sysctl but not
  resolves;

- I use ifupdown + guessnet and I have the same problem if I set eth0
  'auto' or 'allow-hotplug';

- If I reboot the laptop, the eth0 runs without problems (and this is a big
  problem because I must wait next morning to verify any change/solutions).

When few days ago I have set CONTROL_ETHERNET from 'auto' to '0', at the
morning boot, the eth0 runs ok. 

Below the eth0 data (with CONTROL_ETHERNET set to 0):

Hi

This bug was filed for a very old kernel or the bug is old itself
without resolution.

If you can reproduce it with

- the current version in unstable/testing
- the latest kernel from backports

please reopen the bug, see https://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control
for details.

Regards,
Salvatore
