** 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.
