Mesa hm2/hm2_7i96: error finishing read - Dell 3050 Realtek NIC r8168

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

 

sudo lspci -vv

Supplies the drivers currently loaded for each device.

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