On a fresh install, having only moved the mentioned files to
/lib/firmware/rtl_nic and then rebooting:
shelly@neptune:~$ ls /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/
rtl8105e-1.fw rtl8168d-1.fw rtl8168d-2.fw rtl8168e-1.fw
rtl8168e-2.fw rtl8168e-3.fw rtl8168f-1.fw rtl8168f-2.fw
rtl8402-1.fw rtl8411-1.fw rtl_nic_rtl8402-1.fw rtl_nic_rtl8411-1.fw
Still no IP address:
shelly@neptune:~$ ifconfig

Still using the old driver:
shelly@neptune:~$ sudo lshw | grep r8
[sudo] password for shelly:
configuration: autonegotiation=on broadcast=yes
driver=r8169 driverversion=2.3LK-NAPI duplex=full
firmware=rtl8168e-3_0.0.4 03/27/12 latency=0 link=yes multicast=yes
port=MII speed=100Mbit/s
So I try to change drivers but cannot load the new driver:
shelly@neptune:~$ sudo modprobe -r r8169
shelly@neptune:~$ sudo modprobe r8411
FATAL: Module r8411 not found.
shelly@neptune:~$ sudo modprobe r8402
FATAL: Module r8402 not found.
shelly@neptune:~$ sudo modprobe rtl8411
FATAL: Module rtl8411 not found.
shelly@neptune:~$ sudo modprobe rtl_nic_8411
FATAL: Module rtl_nic_8411 not found.
shelly@neptune:~$ sudo modprobe rtl_nic_8411-1
FATAL: Module rtl_nic_8411_1 not found.
shelly@neptune:~$ sudo modprobe rtl_nic_8411-1.fw
FATAL: Module rtl_nic_8411_1.fw not found.
shelly@neptune:~$
What should I do now?
