Do as Neil told you and search them with / and lspci -k I have the same NIC as you do: RTL8111/8168/8411. It is under 1 GB ethernet controllers. The module name is r8169. However I've had multiple issues with the in-kernel drivers as windows driver leaves in out-of-spec state when booting. This i only an issue if you multiboot. I would only recommend compiling r8169 as a module. The r8169 is if I remember correctly meat for a different NIC, but will work with 8168. There is another option though and the portage provides ebuilds for it. You can use Realtek provided module which works much better for this buggy NIC. The package is net-misc/r8168. Just emerge that and you are fine :) This matter has been already addressed in the list so you could search the archives. I have grown much hatred toward Realtek during these past few years... As for RTL8723BE wifi NIC I don't know the module. It should be quite easy to find. -- -Matti
