I don't see why you're attempting to install Realtek's Ethernet drivers. My
desktop has an RTL8111D(L) chip, and my notebook has an RTL8111 series chip
which I could not identify it's revision.
Desktop: lspci: 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 03)
uname -r: 3.13.0-55-lowlatency (Stock kernel, updated)
Notebook: lspci: 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co.,
Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 10)
uname -r: 3.16.0-40-lowlatency (Filtered Ubuntu 14.10 backport kernel)
As far as I'm aware, there isn't much of a difference with the different
RTL8111 chips. Even though the r8169 driver attempts to load non-existent
(removed) firmware on both of these computers, I still have a stable Internet
connection without the firmware.
