Google it or search the archives for the past month. This has been discussed here at length recently. Search your dmesg output for something like: eth0: unable to apply firmware patch If you see that you're a victim of the firmware blob issue. Basically, Debian feels the Realtek firmware isn't free so does not distribute it with Debian kernels/drivers, which bricks the Realtek LAN chips. I've said for years that Realtek ethernet chips are junk and to stay away from them. This latest FW blob fiasco is but one more reason added to the long list. If your time is worth more than ~$30 USD, buy an Intel PCI/PCIe NIC and be done with it. You'll pull much hair out trying to get an RTL chip working with a recent Debian kernel. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

You cannot go wrong with an Intel NIC, regardless of OS: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833106123 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833106033 It's one of few cards you'll never have to worry about compatibility headaches, especially in Linux. They just work, and they work well. Unlike the Realteks and Marvells of the world, you can actually get close to GigE wire speed with an Intel Pro 1000 card. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
