rc8 not detecting r8168

[dalben]

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

Same issue here

same issue here

 

RC8 has no nics

 

RC6 -r8168-test has nic

I can confirm RC8a has resolved the issue.

[sacretagent]

nic issue solved for me too

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...

I just realized I have a r8169 which is not detected, not a r8168
