Package: r8168-dkms (8.054.00-1) [non-free]

dkms source for the r8168 network driver

r8168 is the Linux device driver released by RealTek for their network controllers with PCI-Express interface:

 * 10/100/1000M Gigabit Ethernet: RTL8111B, RTL8111C, RTL8111D, RTL8111E,
   RTL8111F, RTL8111G, RTL8111H, RTL8118A, RTL8119i, RTL8111L, RTL8111K,
   RTL8168B, RTL8168E, RTL8168H, RTL8111DP, RTL8111EP(P), RTL8111FP,
   RTL8411, RTL8411B

This driver should only be used for devices not yet supported by the in-kernel driver r8169. Please see the README.Debian for instructions how to report bugs against r8169 that made it necessary to use r8168-dkms.

Installation of the r8168-dkms package will disable the in-kernel r8169 module. To re-enable r8169, the r8168-dkms package must be purged.

This package provides the dkms source code for the r8168 kernel module. Kernel source or headers are required to compile the module.

Building the kernel module has been tested up to Linux 6.11.
