Source: linux Version: 3.14.12-1 Severity: minor Systems with a RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller get a message such as:
[...] r8169 [...] firmware: failed to load rtl_nic/rtl8168f-1.fw (-2)
printed on tty1, unless non-free firmware which allegedly enhances the device is installed. On mine, kern.log contains:
