Realtek Rtl8111 Linux Download The File

This is also my question it is not an exotic chip, so it should have been included in the Kernel stupid. Linux 3.2 fixed most bugs, so you may not need this tutorial anymore in Mint 13 which will be released anywhere soon.

This instructions should work for other editions but I havent tested them.

If you have a Realtek RTL81118168B, you may notice that the network connectivity is choppy.

Please adapt as required: For example, if you download the file to your Downloads folder and the file is called r8168-8.025.00.tar.gz, the steps are the following Code: Select all cd Downloads.

This script unloads and renames the r8169 driver so it does not cause any more trouble.

There is no need to blacklist it but you can blacklist it if you want.

If you are using kernel 3.0 youll notice that the srcMakefile has a bug that causes it to install the r8168.o file instead of the r8168.ko file The solution is simple: After the autorun.sh finishes, just do the following.

Which sets the KEXT to ko for kernels 2.5, 2.6 and 2.7.

It sets KEXT to o for anything else.

This was OK at the time as kernel 3.0 is quite recent.

The fix is to also include kernel 3.0 in that instruction.

I had the exact same problem and these steps fixed it perfectly.

I went from being able to pull 1MBs off my NAS to 20MBsec with this fix.

In my case the ethernet does work but very slowly do to dropped packets.

I was averaging 100kbs downloads during the initial system update and web pages were as slow to load as if on a old style 56kb modem (instead of 6mbs DSL).

I was about to try an old 3Comm PCI card from the junk box to fix the problem (bet there is no driver for it on Windows 7 64 bit).

The Realtek driver I used is r8168-8.027.00 so slightly newer than the 8.025 version that was current at the time of the post.

I didnt notice any error when running the autorun script, nor could I find the offending line in the Makefile however just to be sure (as Im on kernel 3.0.14) I copied the.ko file and loaded it as you suggested.

Into libmodules3.0.0-14-generickerneldriversnet on ubuntu).

All working fine now NIC autonegotiates to 1000Mbsec, I was just transfering files to a windows laptop at 108MBytessec Wow Didnt stay at that speed for long, hard drives presumably cant keep up but this is a major improvement cant thank you enough.

What tools can I use that would enable me to provide more information What basically happens is that the loading animation for a page spins for quite a while - sometimes 2-10x longer than it does on my Windows 7 machine.

Both are using the same Internet connection and using wired Internet.

So r8168 definitely improved things, but theres still something (not sure what) happening that makes pages take a while to load.

Im getting the speed I should be.technically.

But even that site takes longer to load than it perhaps should.

It seems the external elements on the pages themselves are taking a while.

Is 1500 the right MTU for cable (P.S.

Please redirect me to the right thread if Ive misplaced this.).

I found this out when I upgraded to 8.029.00 - 2012329.

If you are using kernel 3.0 youll notice that the srcMakefile has a bug that causes it to install the r8168.o file instead of the r8168.ko file - this bug is fixed (I did not have to do this).

This is also my question it is not an exotic chip, so it should have been included in the Kernel stupid.

Linux 3.2 fixed most bugs, so you may not need this tutorial anymore in Mint 13 which will be released anywhere soon.
