I will give eos another try, but be aware of my questions.

23

r8168 causes issues for a fair number of users. just have that r8168 thread at hand when you install.

24

I will keep you posted about my progress.

25

Installation run smoothly and i had to uninstall r8168 again.

26

Thatā€™s exactly what you needed to do because your particular hardware runs on the r8169 kernel module. The r8168 is an additional package for those whose hardware wonā€™t work on r8169. So it makes it easier to uninstall the r8168 and reboot and you have a working internet. Those who need the r8168 would have difficulty downloading the package so it is included for those that have that issue. Some chips like mine work on both.

So the installed system, after uninstalling r8168, is working as expected?

@manuel How hard would be adding a button to the welcome app to remove this module when needed. Itā€™s one of the most suggested solutions we have on the forum. :thinking:

Actually it is already in welcome!
Iā€™ll check the code, there might be some problem with it if it is not shown for r8168 users.

Checked Welcomeā€™s code, and if a connection exists, it was not showing the button.
I changed it to show the button even when there is a connection (and 8168 hardware is present).
New version is 3.12.6-1.

OT: odd part is only the zen and lts kernels do this. mainline works fine.

33

yeah had the same issue here when I compiled the TKG kernel a while back, whereas it worked fine on the normal one

34

Sorry, I didnā€™t really get what the pictures should show. I can see you have welcome 3.12.5-1 and it shows the r8168 button.

Sorry the mirrors werenā€™t updated when I updated. It is the correct version now. On zen kernel I had no internet. Fired up welcome hit the button to remove r8168 rebooted and internet was fixed.

No the button is now gone after the reboot and updating the welcome app.
