I am having an issue with the latest Rocky 9 release and an Intel X550 NIC using the ixgbe driver. The base NIC device is functioning as expected, however, I have created a VLAN interface on a specific port and that the VLAN “device” seems to consistently lose and regain connectivity. dmesg reports the device “unregistering” and then seemingly reconnecting shortly after over and over again.

Connectivity on the native vlan / untagged vlan of the port that this occurs on, never loses connectivity which to me rules out a hardware issue. Further there is errors or logs that mention anything other than the VLAN device.

Any thoughts or suggestions on what to try?
