Many thanks to all of you.
I was looking for a solution to have this brand new J7F4 MB, I bought begining of January from LinITX (UK), working with SME, including trying to install a rpm driver for SL44 (another Linux distro based on RHEL), or install an entire CentOS distro to compile the driver, and I was about to try with a third NIC, when I came back to Contribs.org forums to find this very smart solution.
Just to bring my small contribution to the solution, I tried to patch the source driver from Realtek (the 1.04 available on Confucius website) as indicated in this page on a Gentoo wiki (
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_RTL8168, section TROUBLESHOOTING). With the Confucius 1.04 version I had the warning when "making clean modules", and I didn't have anymore warning with the MODULE_PARM_DESC modification in the src/r1000_n.c file.
I hope this could help.
Any news of a 1.05 working driver or do we have to wait for a new kernel fixing the bug?
