You could use WLAN or a USB ethernet card like this one to get a temporary internet connection. NOTE2: For this way you need a working internet connection. NOTE: Thanks to the user “Liyu” who gave me this hint! The following lines describes both of them. Today we can use 2 methods for installing the driver. The installation methodsĪ lot of things have changed since I written the initial article about how to compile the driver under Ubuntu / Debian. As long as the driver isn’t Open Sourced, we have to build it on our own. As far as I can see this, the RTL8111/RTL8168 is not Open Source and this would be of course the reason why the driver isn’t included into the Linux Kernel.
Some people asked me, “Why do I need this driver anyway? Doesn’t the Linux Kernel ship it?”. This guide is almost 5 years old now and I wanted to make a complete overhaul, because a lot of things has changed since then. A lot of people will remember my guide how to get a RTL8111/RTL8168 running under your Linux box.
