* Package name : r8168 Version : 8.025.00 Upstream Author : Realtek NIC software team <nic...@realtek.com> * URL : http://www.realtek.com/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=13&PFid=5&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false#2 * License : GPL2+ Programming Lang: C Description : dkms source for the r8168 network driver r8168 is the Linux device driver released for RealTek RTL8168B/8111B, RTL8168C/8111C, RTL8168CP/8111CP, RTL8168D/8111D, and RTL8168DP/8111DP, and RTK8168E/8111E Gigabit Ethernet controllers with PCI-Express interface. . This driver should only used for devices not yet supported by the in-kernel driver r8169. . This package provides the dkms source code for the r8168 kernel modules. Kernel source or headers are required to compile these modules. I just came along this in #debian last week, helping someone to get this module built and installed (upstream build system does not work properly on kernel 3.x) because the in-kernel module r8169 did not support his NIC. I did this package just as a first experiment with dkms, the module builds fine with squeeze and sid kernels. I don't have the hardware to actually test it. So if someone who actually needs it wants to take over maintainership, he is welcome. Andreas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
