Description JT 2024-02-16 08:54:00 UTC

Hello,

i am currently using Unraid as OS and can't reach any higher C-States then C2/C3 while the Networkcable is pluged in. If i unplug the Network-Cable the system reaches immediately higher C-States (C6-C8) 

Asked the Mainboard Vendor for issue or dependency and Asus told me there are no issues and they can reach higher C-States in Powerhouse Mountain so it should be an Linux issue.

Which Information do you need?

Greetings
JT

According to creator of powertop, issue is caused by a bug in the kernel driver for the Intel I226-V ethernet network controller.

Can replicate bug on an Odroid H4+ board running Ubuntu Server 24.04 LTS.

Bug still present in new release Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS. Driver fails when power management is activated.
