Normally this dump would contain responses from DHCP servers.

The only thing dhcp-discover requires is for the link to be up:

sudo ip link set enp2s0 up

But if you set it "down" it disappears from ifconfig, so that is not it.

So basically your entire hardware device stops working.

I don't know at this point how to test ethernet using ethtool.

This runs a self-test:

sudo ethtool -t enp2s0

sudo ethtool -S enp2s0 will also give error statistics.


Unless you:

- have another computer on the network with the same IP

It seems to me that you have a hardware failure.
