| Summary | 0000851: knod-r8168 not working under CentOS 7.5 | ||||
| Description | I updated my box to CentOS 7.5 and networking failed. I booted the previous kernel and networking worked. I think that the problem is that the module is in /lib/modules/3.10.0-693.el7.x86_64/extra but it needs to be in /lib/modules/3.10.0-862.el7.x86_64/extra/ | ||||

As discussed on IRC #elrepo, it is recommended that you try the in-kernel driver first. If you wish to test the kmod-r8168 package built against EL 7.5 kernels, it will be available in our testing repository shortly (syncing to mirrors): kmod-r8168-8.045.08-2.el7_5.elrepo.x86_64.rpm It is not backward compatible with earlier kernels. We don't have proper hardware to test this package, so no idea if it works. |

Hi! Thank You! I installed this tonight on my fresh CentOS 7.5 update. My RTL8168 is back up and functional ! Yay ! Some of my workstation info below : cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS Linux release 7.5.1804 (Core) uname -a Linux myworkstation 3.10.0-862.2.3.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed May 9 18:05:47 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux lspci -nn | grep net 02:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

Thanks for the report. Good to hear the updated version works. I have one question. Did the in-kernel driver not work? |

The last time I tried in-kernel driver was when I first installed CentOS 7.0 on its day of release. I added the ElRepo repository very quickly after the install in order to solve problems with the Nvidia driver for the Titan display card. I believe I added the ElRepo r8168 driver at that time due to some network problems with the r8168... It has been a while since that day... and I don't see any of my notes on that original install around... Sorry! --brock |

The kmod-r8168 package has just been promoted to the elrepo main repository. Closing as 'resolved'. |
