				Mesa hm2/hm2_7i96: error finishing read - Dell 3050 Realtek NIC r8168 was created by upplib			
			
				Hello all
I installed linuxcnc on Dell Optiplex 3050 Micro Intel 7500T with 8GB Ram. It has a Realtek Gigabit NIC. When i start Linuxcnc i get the error finishing read multiple times. Searching the forum and internet i installed r8168-dkms. It did not solve the problem.
I have seen a suggestion to use original Realtek Drivers, any info on where I can find and how to install.
Thanks
$ sudo lspci -v -s $(lspci | grep -i realtek | awk '{print $1}')

				r8169 is the name of the standard (and bad) in-kernel driver
It appears your r8168- dkms driver install failed somehow.

				Thanks. I think the install of dkms pkg exited with an error code.  I added a line in the dkms.conf file to blacklist r8169.
Will try to re-install the whole thing again. What is the cmd to check what driver is installed. Is used lspci and ethtool. Is there a device manager like windows to check the installed driver?
Thanks

				You can try this script:
 
first
chmod +x edrivers.txt
then
./edrivers.txt

				Thanks to all, I reinstalled, then installed dkms-r8168 pkg.  This fixed the issue.
Now the driver is r8168 instead of r8169.
