these instructions following , have 2.6.32 – 25 version of kernel


this linux device driver released realtek rtl8168b/8111b, rtl8168c/8111c, rtl8168cp/8111cp, rtl8168d/8111d, rtl8168dp/8111dp, , rtl8168e/8111e gigabit ethernet controllers pci-express interface.


<requirements>


- kernel source tree (supported linux kernel 2.6.x , 2.4.x)
- linux kernel 2.4.x, driver supports 2.4.20 , latter.
- compiler/binutils kernel compilation


<quick install proper kernel settings>
unpack tarball :

change directory:
# cd r8168-8.aaa.bb


if running target kernel, should able :


# ./autorun.sh (as root or sudo)


you can check whether driver loaded using following commands.
