Proxmox 6.8.12-9-pve kernel has introduced a problem with e1000e Driver and network connection lost after some hours

It will increase cpu usage and slows the network a bit due to all the smaller packets. But it's a workaround for now I guess, I rolled back to 8.2.2 with Linux 6.8.4-2-pve kernel. USB-Ethernet adapter was just too slow. This isn't just a proxmox issue, on Fedora desktop my intel nic also drops out all the time.

Disabling offloading takes a bit of a toll on small boxes with weaker CPUs, I dropped to 400-600Mbps from a full gigabit. Intel I219-LM

Upgraded to PVE 9 (6.14.8-2), re-enabled offloading and hoped for the best, the first few hours have been good so far (this will age like milk).

EDIT: as expected, the good times didn't last long, took about 48 hours before i hit it again

i am testing this:
offload-gso off
offload-gro off
offload-tso off
offload-rx off
offload-tx off
offload-rxvlan off
offload-txvlan off
offload-sg off
offload-ufo off
offload-lro off
Didn't help. Proxmox uses an EOL kernel 6.14.8-11, maybe the problem was fixed in 6.16 but I didn't wait because the network card was failing several times a day. Bought and installed tp-link tx201 (rtl8125) the problem went away without offloadings, everything works stably
 
Yep same issue ! I have lost my connection internet for the past 3 days every 12h my stuff crash...
First I thought it could be the e1000e driver after checking logs I have reduced it to InterruptThrottleRate=3000 setting but still lost internet...
Would this be the solution:
Code:
ethtool  -K enp0s31f6 gso off gro off tso off tx off rx off rxvlan off txvlan off sg off
thank you
Edit: This command
Code:
ethtool  -K enp0s31f6 gso off gro off tso off tx off rx off rxvlan off txvlan off sg off
This command unfortunately fail to work on the new kernel update... Only solution will to downgrade kernel I guess. Will keep updating!
Edit only downgrading kernel fixed the issue !
