Description of problem: Network link is not detected in kernel release 4.16. The on board link LED indicates a link but ip l / ethtool reports no link detected. Booting with 4.15 results in an working link. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-4.16.4-200.fc27.x86_64 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Using a Asus XG-C100C 10G Network Adapter 2. Boot with kernel-4.16.4-200.fc27.x86_64 Actual results: No link is reported by OS however card is indicating a working link via the onboard LED (also on the switch). Expected results: The link should be reported as up the same way it is in 4.15 Additional info: This has been fixed upstream, kernel bug 199177
This is now fixed in kernel-4.16.6-202.fc27.x86_64
