So, anyone on this?

I've now got one quite useless home office fileserver with something which reports to be an RTL8111/8168B (rev 03) in lspci.

I've tried various Ubuntu provided r8169 drivers, all the r8168 drivers from Realtek and all of the r8169 drivers from Realtek.

Nothing works. I have not been able to get eth0 visible even once.

In dmesg the last thing to occur with the r8169 drivers is "irq x for msi/msi-x" and with the r8168 drivers "unknown chip version, assuming RTL8111B/8168B" (which I think is different from RTL8111/8168B).

Yes, getting a proper network adapter is a valid option, but you still cannot ignore the existence of the problem.

So, is it in the Realtek drivers or deeper in the kernel in the PCI-E stack?
