This is a strange problem and probably a longshot to find anyone else hitting it, but I could use some ideas if anyone has any.
I have an Asus P7P55D-E Pro mobo (with an 8112L networking controller) that was running 10.9 Mavericks for the past few years, no problems. A week ago I upgraded it to 10.12 Sierra (booting from Clover). The upgrade worked except that it wasn't succeeding at Time Machine backups to a Synology NAS (which it had been using before without problems, and which several other Macs in the house are backing up to). So I deleted this computer's backups from the NAS, uninstalled/reinstalled the RealtekRTL8111 kext (into /Library/Extensions), cleared the kext cache, and removed and re-added the backup locations in the Time Machine preferences panel. It's still having trouble.
What happens is that backups start successfully and run for a while (a few hours - it's got 1.5TB to back up over my home network), but then suddenly I get this in the logs:
And then until I reboot, every subsequent attempt to back up will fail like this, even though the backup volume is no longer mounted:
The reason I suspect this computer, and not the server, is because I've been ssh'ing into this computer to keep an eye on the backups and it drops my connection occasionally.
Any thoughts? The Realtek 8111 driver should be compatible with an 8112L, right? Or is there a different driver I should use?
