I am reasonably sure that the hardware is OK. Even with r8169 driver my network works OK. Only issue I have noticed is large number of dropped packets in RX and after "some" reboots the device does not work. When I have installed and enabled r8168 driver from RTL website even the dropped packet issue is no longer there. Now the issue is r8169 gets loaded at boot time even if I added # Replaced with r8168 --Dinesh Shah blacklist r8169 in file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist Any and all pointers/hints are appreciated. > Best > > A.
