Hello. I’m an old Ubuntu user. I’ve decided to leave Ubuntu for several reasons, specially for deb files & Unity. I’ve heard rpm is more stable. Also I’ve tried fedora & I really liked it. But they don’t have gnome 2 anymore also YAST.
I’ve installed 11.4 Opensuse a few days ago without a problem. But when I open my PC, I recognized I have no internet. Also I’ve checked system sees my 8111 8168B Realtek card. I’ve read some topics this driver is buggy & I need to replace it. But as a new rpm & Opensuse user, anyone tell me how can I do this step by step. How can I uninstall my internet driver & reinstall. If any help I would be gratefull.
But I don’t know how to uninstall driver & install another one. Even I don’t know opensuse terminal codes for install, remove… If anyone had a same issue, explain me how to solve this problem step by step?
Thank you for replies. I tried both of ur links. Specially I wanna thank u vodoo. I think ur method could work. But somehow I get an error during installation. I will try today as well.

Well, i opened the link, copied the 8111-8169B driver rpms to a flash
stick. Went over to the machine i am having problems with and installed
the correct version (desktop) and it did not help. Nor does the
workaround (power down w/ unplug). Guess i will have to try building the
driver. I expect there is enough base and driver development kit on the
DVD. I’ll let you know.
