Hello folks, i don’t know why but only the hardened kernel has no internet connection. Mainline and LTS Kernel are still connected to the internet through my cabled connection. Is it normal, that the hardened kernel has no internet connection after installation? How can i install afterwards the i…

I think you need to install the r8168 dkms modules for hardened kernel and also as @dalto has said the appropriate headers for the linux hardened kernel. Package is in the AUR. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/r8168-dkms/

Is your device still being seen? DHCP or static IP? What are you using to get a network connection, network manager? Are you using dkms modules, did you install linux-hardened-headers Can we see the output of these commands: lspci | egrep -i 'network|ethernet' ip a On a positive note, your …

It looks like an issue with the drivers for your device. Did you try installing the headers? sudo pacman -S linux-hardened-headers

@dalto I installed already the linux-hardened-headers after installation of linux-hardened. Should i try it again? I will install r8168 dkms modules and will post my result here again. Thank you so far

[image] Endlich: Should i try it again? No, no need to re-install.

[image] Endlich: and will post my result here again. [image] dalto: No, no need to re-install. I did not need to install anything, except as pointed out by @dalto at the time dkms-nvidia if you have that graphics card. $ uname -rs Linux 5.6.15.b-1-hardened

It works, after installing r8168-dkms through AUR.

Hello it’s me again, sorry! I reinstalled my system and have now the same issue like before, but yay r8168-dkms don’t show me an install. Only an error was there. No packages match search[IMG_20201231_170242] [IMG_20201231_170201] There is a menu on yay showing up when i enter yay r8168 only. But…

Maybe you have the same issue I had. Try modprobe r8168 as root. But be careful, it’s not persistent. This driver has been blacklisted lately. To make it survive a reboot you need to delete the file r8168.conf in /usr/lib/modprobe.d.
