I just picked up a motherboard with a Realtek 8111E network chipset. Looking back through the posts here, it appears people have had issues with it. The last posts I see, though, are a year ago.
What's the current status of this chipset with the up-to-date kernel? Should I try to send my motherboard back? |

Which particular motherboard?
I've a lot of equipment with the RTL8111/8168B/8169 chipset Gigabit ethernets and they work "fine" for client use, never really had issues with them other than hardware failure.
These are most of the realteks that I have in various machines, they all use the r8169 driver. Just the one on 00:0f.0 is a discrete PCI card.

00:0f.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8169 PCI Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 10)

What am I supposed watching? |

Thanks for the response.
It's the ASRock Z77 Extreme3. What kernel are you using? |

All different kinds of kernels :D
I think most of them are either 3.5.7 or 3.3.8. It has been stable for many versions now.
The two 8111's are in an Gigabyte P43 based board, and a laptop with a Z77 chipset. I believe I have yet another 8111 in a Gigabyte Z68 based board, no problems with any of these. _________________ Intel Core i7 2700K/Radeon R7 250/24GB DDR3/256GB SSD

I have a :
ASUS sabertooth 990FX mainboard with an onboard:
06:05.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8110SC/8169SC Gigabit Ethernet (rev 10)
Subsystem: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8110SC/8169SC Gigabit Ethernet
and PCI:
09:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 06)
both use the r8169 driver too and both work without problems. I was also concerned, because I heard from these problems after I bought the mainboard and the PCI-card, but it all works fine (with kernel 3.4.9 and 3.5.7) |
