** Description changed:

  From the Bionic archive (universe) the r8168-dkms driver is supposed to
  get better performance compared to the kernel builin r8169 one, which
  has degraded speed mainly due to MTU 576 and only using 100 Mbits/s.
  
  Installing that driver onto a 4.13.13 based kernel goes as expected, but
  after rebooting there is no network at all, ping fails. Blacklisting
  r8169 or not makes no difference.

  About the kernel itself, maybe the builtin r8169 driver could deliver better 
performance , for example setting MTU to >=1492 at least.

Title:
  Poor kernel builtin r8169 driver performance, r8168-dkms driver not
  compatible with kernels > 4.7

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in r8168-dkms package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  From the Bionic archive (universe) the r8168-dkms driver is supposed
  to get better performance compared to the kernel builin r8169 one,
  which has degraded speed mainly due to MTU 576 and only using 100
  Mbits/s.

  Installing that driver onto a 4.13.13 based kernel goes as expected,
  but after rebooting there is no network at all, ping fails.
  Blacklisting r8169 or not makes no difference.

  An issue is opened on https://github.com/mtorromeo/r8168/issues/9

  So that driver is not usable actually with the proposed kernels from
  the recent ubuntu releases; maybe the driver description could point
  that limitation, if a bypass is not found.

  Will get a chance to the propositions found on:
  https://wiki.hetzner.de/index.php/Installation_des_r8168-Treibers/en

  About the kernel itself, maybe the builtin r8169 driver could deliver better 
performance , for example setting MTU to >=1492 at least.
