I am trying to update Linux on my desktop. I have a Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3
with a Realtek RTL8111/8168/8411 network chip built into it. Installing
Fedora_20 onto this is dead easy. If I try anything more recent, the
networking does not work. I have tried Fedoras 22, 23, KFedora_23, and
Ubuntu_15.04. When I boot from the install DVD, there is no network. I have
even installed a wireless card. This works fine from Fedora_20. It does not
work from KFedora_23.
I did a fresh install of Fedora 23 when it came out on the machine on
which I'm typing this and it has the same Ethernet controller. I didn't
have to do anything special for networking to work. It's currently
running with kernel 4.3.4 without any problems.
