rebuild kernel question

#1 Post by jalisco »

I recently upgraded my kernel to 4.9.0-4-amd64.

Unfortunately, it broke my NIC(realtek 8111c).

I tried to upgrade the firmware for it, but I was having issues with "unloading/having to remove" the older driver, but was unable to do that.

I just want back to 4.9.0-3-amd64, and everything worked fine again.

My question is:

How should I proceed to update the driver, and use the newer Linux image??

You need to go into much more detail about this part. It's not making any sense to me right now.

Ok, thanks for reply.

I will have another look at it, in the next day or two.

I had simply reverted back to a previous kernel, and everything worked fine. Since it's a primary (home) server, with print server functionality, amongst other test server functions, I was just happy it "worked" again.
