I installed Debian buster on a Lenovo Thinkpad X270 with the non-free additions. Wireless network works fine, but Ethernet doesn't get an IPv4 address. I see the PCI device:
I see stuff in dmesg:
I see an entry with an IPv6 address inifconfig:
...but there is no IPv4 address, and I don't know how to interpret what I am seeing from nmcli:
Although "WIRED-PROPERTIES.CARRIER: off" appears, at this time the green light was on below the laptop's ethernet connector and on the router port it's connected to.
But then I tried to run nmcli device connect, and things got worse:
After that, the state shown by nmcli changed from 70 to 20, and the green light went out!
However, after a few minutes the green light turned back on, and the GENERAL.STATE returned to being 70.
New messages that seem relevant keep appearing in the log file several times a minute:
I have had no success with two different routers and two different known good Cat6 cables.
Is there anything this could be other than a hardware problem?
