September 18, 201213 yr I dropped RC8 onto my thumb drive and rebooted. The machine came up but was not on the network. I'm assuming RC8 isn't find the r8168 I have in my server. Being a unix noob I had no idea how to try and get it started from the command line. I'v e reverted back to RC6-test2 to get it up again. Here are the syslog entries, first being RC8 and seeing it fail: Sep 18 11:24:04 tdm ifconfig[15390]: eth0: error fetching interface information: Device not found Sep 18 11:24:04 tdm ethtool[15399]: Settings for eth0: Sep 18 11:24:04 tdm ethtool[15399]: No data available and here's the working RC6 Sep 7 07:11:32 tdm kernel: r8168 Gigabit Ethernet driver 8.031.00-NAPI loaded Sep 7 07:11:32 tdm kernel: r8168 0000:03:00.0: irq 51 for MSI/MSI-X Sep 7 07:11:32 tdm kernel: eth%%d: RTL8168E/8111E at 0xf84c4000, f4:6d:04:70:09:44, IRQ 51 Sep 7 07:11:32 tdm kernel: r8168: This product is covered by one or more of the following patents: US5,307,459, US5,434,872, US5,732,094, US6,570,884, US6,115,776, and US6,327,625.

September 18, 201213 yr I've just updated to RC8a and my r8168 NIC is still not recognized. I can load the module manually but the NIC is not shown by ifconfig -a (Forgot to check dmesg after loading the module :-/ ) edit: Just tried it again, there is nothing in dmesg...
