Re: Realtek RTL8111C Controller Compatibility

Which motherboard? The Realtek (bleh) in my Gigabyte EP35-DS3L worked fine with both the 2.6.18 kernel included in Debian Etch and the 2.6.24 that is part of Etch And A Half (due in 4.0r4). I'm not sure *exactly* which chip it is, though, but it's probably not the 8111C, sorry.

Thanks for the info, Cabal.

I think the difference is in the B and C versions of the 8111, but not sure. The motherboard itself is the GA-X48T-DQ6:

It seems from what I've read that the r8169 driver in the kernel does not work well with the 8111C, but I'm hoping that perhaps the r8168 driver that was meant to run the 8111C has been merged into the r8169 driver that's included with the kernel.

Thanks again for your reply.
