Note that this chip isn't properly supported by Linux. It uses a driver |

for the 8111* chips that isn't really compatible. I have a 8111E chip |

and with the kernel drivers it stops working after about an hour. |

You will probably need the Linux driver from Realtek: |

To install it, simply run the provided "autorun.sh" script as root. It |
15 |
will compile and copy the kernel modules to /lib/modules/<your_kernel> |

For it to work, you need to build a kernel with your current ethernet |
18 |
driver disabled. It works with kernel 3.0. Don't know about 3.1, I |
19 |
guess it doesn't yet. |
