I have a ethernet cable connected to my laptop and randomly the ethernet cable goes down, I know the problem isn't with the ethernet cable because it's still noticed by the router and a simple restart fixes it, This is a real inconvineance for me, Trying to reconnect takes way too long and it won't connect at the end, I can't identify what's causing the issue, checked networkmanager logs and wasn't able to find anyting related to ethernet

Trying to reconnect gives the error

Error: Connection activation failed: IP configuration could not be reserved (no available address, timeout, etc.)
