 |
|
Hi all,
is the driver for the ethernic Realtek RTL8111GR missing in the 3.14.14 Kernel source?
The supported Kernel driver dosnt work properly and allways does a fallback to 100M or less and is damned slow und unstable
I tried to get it working with the original driver source from realtek but it dosnt work.
To new maybe? I couldnt find any matching driver at Realtek so i pluged another 1G PCIe NIC
This onboard NIC is found on boards like the ASRock Q1900M Celeron and others.
Regards |

Was it working during the installation?
If it was, then you can do a # lspci -k
to see what driver in the kernel it was using.
Then go into the kernel, search for it and enable it. |

HI All and thanks for ur replys,
i tryed out all firmwares and yes it worked during install but only at 100M , damned slowly and unstable.
I will drop the Realtek Dev Team a note and ask for a solution and driver. Lets see how long it takes this time ^^
Till then i use another PCIe X1 1G NIC
Best Regards
/Edit
i left a note at Realtek Dev, lets see now |

Since it worked during the installation, the driver is probably in the kernel and working.
After installation, try doing # ifconfig -a to see if the driver is being used and that the interface is up.
If it is, then you can do # dhcpcd <interface_name> |

Subject: Known Driver Issue and Problems with RTL 8111GR onboard NIC Chipon Linux
Hello to you over there in Taiwan at Realtek,
long ago we had been in contact.
At time we are having some Development (Kernel and Gentoo Core Sys)
Problems with your Ether NIC 8111GR onboard Chip under Linux Kernels.
The Problem looks like this:
Connection only at 100M or below, damned slowly and unstable.
All trys to use another Firmware dosnt fix it.
Could you please have a look at it, fix and leave me a note where a
working Driver is to download to support this NIC under Linux Kernels
>3.x.x , Kernel ORG and the Linux Community.....?
Best Regards to you at Realtek,
