No, that is not the solution. Realtek distributes two drivers (r8168 and r8169) supporting two sets of similar chips. In upstream Linux the r8169 driver supports all those chips.
Yes. In one PC we have a R8168B onboard and it works well with the r8169 driver on Gigabit LAN.
Some people compare an old r8169 with a newer r8168 and wrongly think that r8168 must be better.
I only see that the current r8169 (57K) driver is much smaller than the r8168 (383K). I also tried the newest r8169 driver from realtek in Squeeze with the same result.
Please test Linux 3.0 as packaged in Debian unstable.
That's much effort because i have no installation. What will differ here - because i already tried the newest driver?
Ben.
Any idea why the r8168 driver is loaded but not found as eth? Karsten -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
