Suse 11.4 Intermittent internet with Realtek RTL8111E ethernet controller (GA-H67xx-xxx motherboard)

Hello All

    I discovered that the default install for suse 11.4 with a Realtek RTL8111E ethernet controller would result in intermittent network connection. I found the solution and have posted it in the thread:

Default driver for Realtek RTL8111E chip (Ethernet) does not work

    Sorry for the duplication, when I first started tackling this problem I started looking in this sub-forum. I am posting it here because I am sure other affected users will be looking here first.

    Hope this is helpful.

Take Care

Thanks for the information. Why don’t You put this in the How To area ?

Best regards,
Greg

Note that kernel update will restore the old faulty driver see the following post for more details.
