<Linux device driver for Realtek Ethernet controllers> This is the Linux device driver released for RealTek Ethernet controllers, which are listed as following. 1. RTL8169S/SB/SC (Gigabit Ethernet with PCI interface) 2. RTL8168B (Gigabit Ethernet with PCI-Express interface) 3. RTL8101E (Fast Ethernet with PCI-Express interface) <Requirements> - kernel source tree (supported versions 2.4.x or 2.6.x) - compiler/binutils for kernel compilation <Quick install with proper kernel settings> Unpack the tarball : unzip r1000_linuxdrv_vxx.zip Change to the directory: cd r1000 If you are running the target kernel, then you should be able to do : make clean modules (as root or with sudo) make install depmod -a <Force Media Speed> The media can be forced to one of the 5 modes as follows. Cmd: "insmod r1000 media = SET_MEDIA" For example: "insmod r1000 media = 0x04" will force PHY to operate in 100Mpbs Half-duplex. SET_MEDIA can be: _10_Half = 0x01 _10_Full = 0x02 _100_Half = 0x04 _100_Full = 0x08 _1000_Full = 0x10 Force media type for multiple cards could be performed as: "insmod r1000 media=0x04,0x10" which force PHY to operate at 100Mbps half-duplex and 1000Mbps full-duplex. <Advanced feature> - Supports Jumbo Frame - Hardware Tx/Rx flow controlDownload Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
