Subject: kernel v5.3.0-rc1

Hello,

I had problems with network functionality in kernel v5.3.0-rc1. I was
not able to ping local devices with ip address or internet points by
name. I have been testing git kernels for a while and this is the first
time this has happened, i.e., it didn't happen with v5.2.0. One
interesting thing is that simply rebooting with a good kernel doesn't
fix the problem. The machine has to be powered off and restarted.

It was clear that network names were not being resolved.

I can provide more details and try different things to help track down
the problem. I'm using x86-64 system, gentoo linux, r8169 PHY.

Best Wishes,

Bob Gleitsmann
