Re: [gentoo-user] ethernet dont use kernel module
I have news... I boot from USB, and a lspci -v says: 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 09) Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.

It should be r8169. You are rigth :P So, we are back to beginning ._. I need load a module (r8169), and modprobe does not works :P If I'm reading your kernel config correctly, you cannot modprobe r8168; you have it compiled in the kernel. If you set it up as a module (CONFIG_R8169=m), then I don't understand the Function not implemented message. I already compiled the kernel with r8169 as module as you suggested. But is the same :P # modprobe r8169 modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'r8169': Function not implemented To install the firmware [1], I need to run a script autorun.sh. When I do that, say me this: http://bpaste.net/show/186711/ [1] http://www.realtek.com.tw/Downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1PNid=13PFid=5Level=5Conn=4DownTypeID=3GetDown=false#2 I'm going crazzy lol Thank you!

I suggest you to try r8168 module. The realtek RTL8111/8168 chip is buggy. The
in-kernel module r8169 failed to work with the chip. When i used r8169 and
booted to windows or the other way around the network card was hard locked. It
required a complete power out for a minute to reset the card. With r8168 module
there is no problems. The code is here:
r8168.googlecode.com/files/r8168-8.036.00.tar.gz
I have also a nice ebuild for convenience... But you may test the card without
it.

When sending files like your dmseg and .config files, if they're too long to copy and paste into the body of the message, please send them as attachments. If you name them dmesg.txt and config.txt then people will be able to read them by double-clicking in a gui mail client. Most pastebin services expire old pastes periodically (not to mention that pastebin services are hardly profitable, and close down all the time) whereas these mailing list messages are archived in multiple places and are referenced for years. If you attach these files as plain text then they'll be archived, where they may be of help to other people with the same problem in the future. Stroller.
