Hello, writing to you because of the r8168-dkms-README.Debian.
I am using a GPD MicroPC running Debian Buster with Kernel: Linux praktifix 5.2.0-050200rc6-generic #201906222033 SMP Sun Jun 23 00:36:46 UTC 2019 x86_64 GNU/Linux Got the Kernel from: https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.2-rc6/ Reason for the Kernel: it includes Hans DeGoedes necessary fixes for the GPD MicroPC, see: https://github.com/jwrdegoede/linux-sunxi (btw. I also tried Hans' 5.2.0rc5-kernel which also did not work with respect to Ethernet). Googling of course didn't help out either. My GPD MicroPC with running r8169 gives the following lines in dmesg: ...

Do you need more data? Thank you very much in advance for hopefully looking into this matter. Regards, Karsten Wiborg
