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

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

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