Is the firmware path set correctly in the kernel config? In "Device |
11 |
Drivers->Generic Driver Options", set "Firmware blobs root directory" to |
12 |
"/lib/firmware" and build a new kernel. |
13 |
|
14 |
If that was already set, try to include the firmware in the kernel by |
15 |
setting "External firmware blobs to build into the kernel binary" to |
16 |
"rtl_nic/rtl8168d-2.fw" (the firmware root directory above still needs |
17 |
to be "/lib/firmware"). |
