I have built a new computer, it is an MSI Pro Z890-P and has a LAN Realtek 8126 5G. My question is; does the latest version of Leap have the drivers for this board so it installs without having the problems of installing them later.
Thank you

Supported by the build in driver r8169.

I have tried to install leap15.6 it did not find the network card drivers. So, I completed the installation. The computer rebooted and started the old installation, it did not write to the hdd. What has happened. Please disregard the email. Thank you

/sbin/lspci -nnk | grep -iA3 net

I can’t do that I have no operating system. It tries to boot the old OS but fails. What I don’t understand is why leap15.6 did not write to the hdd

Hello
I have managed to install leap15.6. Now I have to get the network running to that end, I have downloaded the drivers from Realtek’s web site. To install these drivers I need to run the autoinstall.sh script, but when I run the script I get this error

make[2]:***/lib/modules/6.4.0-150600.21-defaults/build No such file or directory

That’s is right there is no ‘build’ directory. What can I do?

Thank you, any help is appreciated

PS Here is a copy of the script
#!/bin/sh

invoke insmod with all arguments we got

and use a pathname, as insmod doesn’t look in . by default

TARGET_PATH=$(find /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet -name realtek -type d)
if [ “$TARGET_PATH” = “” ]; then

You could use the driver from here:

Download these 3 rpms and install them.

They are build from the Realtek sources.
