Title:
Fresh Ubuntu 18.04 install uses wrong Realtek wired network driver.
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
Hi there,
Installing Ubuntu 18.04 on my newish laptop which contains a Realtek
8168 NIC seems to use the r8169 driver by default, and should use the
r8168 in order to work properly. To fix, I removed or blocked the 8169
driver, installed the 8168 driver and then reconfigured NetworkManager
- which was quite difficult for a new user like me. I've included
details from my system since I addressed the issue yesterday.
Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help more.
