I’m new in Linux, so that’s the question. My Network Card (realtek RTL8168C(P)/8111C(P)) has not been recognized by opensuse by default, so I’ve downloaded drivers from realtek website. But! after “make modules” gmake said that have no instructions how to build them.
Installation of sound card Drivers from realtek was unsuccessful too…
Can someone help me and say - where can I download “Easy-to-install” drivers for this f***ing realtek?
Try to work your way through the openSUSE audio troubleshooting guide …
SDB:AudioTroubleshooting - openSUSE
if that doesn’t work for you, then please provide us more information so that we can make a better recommendation. To provide more information, with your PC connected to the internet copy and paste the following into a gnome-terminal or konsole:
wget http://home.cfl.rr.com/infofiles/tsalsa && su -c 'bash ./tsalsa'
when prompted for a password please enter your root password. Please try to accurately answer the question on the number of plugs/jacks on your PC (for example my PC has 3 i/o plugs/jacks). When the script completes it will pass you a URL. Please post that URL here.
Also, please copy and paste the following into a gnome-terminal or konsole and post the output here.rpm -qa | grep alsa
rpm -qa | grep pulse
rpm -q libasound2
uname -a
cat /etc/modprobe.d/sound
Good luck
To compile yourself the drivers I think you will need to have kernel-source installed - that’s why the “no rules to make target” pops-up.
There is a source rpm available according to this thread: realtek RTL8168C(P) - openSUSE Forums
I went to Software.openSUSE.org and looked for “r8168” and Index of /repositories/home:/bitshuffler/openSUSE_11.0 has source rpm driver for you.
I can’t elaborate to step-by-step instructions but maybe some one else will guide you, based on the two links I gave. You will have to provide them the info on the architecture x86 or x64 and the kernel you have installed.
Good luck and welcome to opensuse.
thanks all. I’ll try.
