![]() ![]() Unknown device 360cįlags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 17 ![]() ![]() Subsystem: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 01) On an MSI P35 Neo-F (model MS-7360) (note "rev 01" in the first line):Ġ4:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Output of `lspci -v` for a functional card It has also been reported that under some circumstances, even the cards which seem to function with the driver included in 5.2 (see "rev 01" described below) sometimes still exhibit problems (big latencies, lock-ups). The driver in CentOS 5.2 works for some but not for all of the cards. Ĭorrect driver is not included with the standard CentOS 4.5, 5.0 and 5.1 distributions. Therefore on the above mentioned hardware if (and only if) the stock kernel driver does not work, please always try to use the newer r8168 driver instead of r1000. Realtek PCI-Express NIC Described here:Īccording to the chip manufacturer this driver supports some of the chips which previously required the r1000 driver ( which as of version r1000_v1.06 is only maintained for kernel 2.4 and most important does not always work correctly with the new chipsets ). The kernel log showed multiple 'Link down' entries.)ġ.2. Motherboards known to not work with the stock driver:Īsus M3A78-EMH HDMI was reported to have a "weird behaviour" (quoting from the mailing list: 10Mbps link as shown by ethtool, 100Mbps link as shown by the link-indicator on the switch, ifconfig showed no TX-packets, some RX-packets, /billions/ of dropped packets - increasing by millions every second. ![]() A search of a single on-line vendor revealed over 40 different motherboards using some version of the RTL8111.ġ.1. This hardware is widely used by many motherboard manufacturers. For problematic cases one of the methods described in Solutions below must be used.Īny of the following 10/100/1000M Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express NICs: However the driver currently works only for revision 01 of the network cards - and even those can still have problems ( see below under Problem ) the newer cards using revision 02 are identified by the stock kernel driver and can be configured, but they do not work. Starting with Centos 5.2, the stock kernel offers support for this chipset via the r8169 driver. ![]()
