So i am using realtek driver , i compiled succesfully new r8169-6.013.00 driver with kernel 2.6.33.4-1 .]]>https://bbs.archlinux.org/profile.php?id=371322010-05-18T19:40:23Zhttps://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=760758#p760758Yes the card is always listed but it seems it can't find my routers DHCP system won't even let me ping the router. Maybe I should try to statically configure it. Which is kind of funny because atm I am running fedora using DHCP.]]>https://bbs.archlinux.org/profile.php?id=357532010-05-18T16:58:05Zhttps://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=760674#p760674After bootup, is your ethernet card listed by ifconfig?
I'm also having problem with a card handled by r8169, but for me the problem is, I think, a slow-responding dhcp server (something the network daemon doesn't like much it seems), if I configure the interface statically it's ok

It runs a r8169 chip. When I upgraded the kernel the network randomly stopped working entirely. So I decided to do a reinstall of Arch. Everything reinstalls fine then once I boot bam no network again. I tried messing with dhcpcd and ifconfig per the wiki however, the card can't even access the router. When I look at my router the link light for that cable just blinks on and off. So I grabbed a fedora12 disc and installed that so I can have network access back. Anyone else have this issue? Should I wait to reinstall after the next kernel update? Or is there some kind of workaround I can do? I did try the realtek drivers from their site but they won't build at all.]]>https://bbs.archlinux.org/profile.php?id=357532010-05-17T20:25:45Zhttps://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=760260#p760260
