Subject: RTL8101E/RTL8102E PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller (rev 02)
Date: Thu, 20 Sep 2012 20:28:15 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <505B522F.9090808@asyr.hopto.org> (raw)
I have an Acer Aspire One notebook, and it has a NIC as shown below:
# lspci |grep -i Realtek
02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
RTL8101E/RTL8102E PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller (rev 02)
The driver module that I use is r8169. It works with 2.6 series of
kernels, but it does *not* with the recent 3.x of kernels.
Here is the output of ethtool with the 2.6.38 kernel:
# ethtool eth0
Settings for eth0:
Supported ports: [ TP MII ]
Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
Supported pause frame use: No
Supports auto-negotiation: Yes
Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
Advertised pause frame use: No

Link partner advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
Link partner advertised pause frame use: No
Link partner advertised auto-negotiation: Yes
Speed: 100Mb/s

Port: MII

Auto-negotiation: on
Supports Wake-on: pumbg

Current message level: 0x00000033 (51)
drv probe ifdown ifup
Link detected: yes
Question: Should I stick with 2.6 kernels, or are there any directions
on how to make the NIC work with recent 3.x kernels?
