The one system I have with a Realtek chip seems happy enough with MSI-X, but it never gets suspended. There is comment in the patch that I don't quite get: > It is the IRQ 127 - PCI-MSI used by enp2s0. However, lspci lists MSI is > disabled and MSI-X is enabled which conflicts to the interrupt table. What do you mean by "conflicts"? With what? Another question is whether you've loaded any firmware (some versions of the Realtek HW seem to require it). For the posterity, some data from my own system, which I don't know if it has any relevance to the problem at hand. Thanks, M.
