8+ years... ... and that Realtek chip is still a problem. Especially when [what might be] the fix entails *downloading* software!
I've tried various distros on a modified Wyse thin client, including several Ubuntu 'flavours', LMDE, Debian 8.1, Fedora, Knoppix, Puppy, etc. None of them seem to have the r8169 working 'out-of-the-box'. Knoppix does at least have the build essentials, so only the Realtek driver [plus some CLI input] is needed. I have a copy of that file on an external USB flash drive, ready for use. Mine works [in a Knoppix install] as far as being able to ping eth0, and it still responds in the same way after a long shutdown and a reboot. But it has not yet been able to see the network, despite my manually inputting IP/DNS addresses. Annoyingly, it works fine on the Windows Citrix-oriented flash drive install. :-\ After reading this thread, I'll try using the r8168 files. Thanks for the input, folks. If there are any updated suggestions, then I'm listening. Meanwhile, I'll continue searching this repository. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/141343 Title: r8169 driver does not work with Realtek "PCI-E" 8111B integrated network controller To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/141343/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
