realtek 8111H land contoller

#1 Post by NewToLinux »

I wish to have a desktop built with Debian Buster as the operating system.

I am thinking of using a motherboard which has Realtek 8111H as the lan controller.

However, I have heard that this controller has caused problems with Linux systems.

What should I do about this ?

Buy another motherboard with a LAN chipset that works with Linux.
Or, if you already bought it, install a network card with an Intel-based chipset.

Mine works fine

Code: Select all

root@PooBear:/home/jsh# dmesg | grep 8111
[    1.025279] r8169 0000:25:00.0 eth0: RTL8168h/8111h, 00:d8:61:58:f8:d5, XID 54100800, IRQ 40
It does need firmware:

Code: Select all

root@PooBear:/home/jsh# dmesg | grep rtl
[    8.436541] r8169 0000:25:00.0: firmware: direct-loading firmware rtl_nic/rtl8168h-2.fw
If you are planning a netinstall, I would use the non-free netinstall images that include the firmware.
