1 I was running on 3.0.6 kernel, when after a problem with the phone
2 line internet was down for 3 weeks, when it came back up I had no
3 network. I upgraded to 3.7.9 and had a network device but I had to
4 bring it up manually: ifconfig eth0 up, then run dhcp, and that worked
5 for a month.

7 Today had a powerfailure, after rebooting, no /dev/eth*:
8 ifconfig -a
9 gives enp2s0, lo, sit0
10
11 I downloaded the r8168 driver from realtek (my if is RTL811/8168B),
12 installed modprobe'd it,
13 but still no eth device.
14
15 I'm really mystified, as there were no kernel changes, it should have
16 rebooted with the network if it had it before.
