Unzip the tarball. There is a C program in the src directory that has to be corrected before it will compile: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_RTL8168 >From the r1000_v1.04 directory: su make depmod -a The module will build and install correctly with no changes to any of the Makefiles. Probably you will find the tulip driver has been erroneously loaded. Get rid of it: rmmod tulip change to the correct /lib/modules.../net directory then insmod r1000.ko This should get the Realtek working. One last bit of advice -- it took me about 15 minutes of Googling to locate the links above. That was with time to sip coffee. I got my Realtek 8168 gigabit adapter for PCIe running as soon as I did the insmod, and I'm using it now to send this email. Why not try Google a little more in the future? Bob Cochran
