Hi! I dont know if this is the correct place to post or do I need to do it in Networking.
Well, lets continue: I have a dual boot arch & windows 10, a REALTEK 8111/8168/8411 controller that uses the r8169 realtek driver.
As explained here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ne … n/Ethernet (at the bottom -- Realtek no link / WOL problem) I may have a problem with the WOL.
When I boot to windows and then to Arch, the internet will work fine, but if I reboot from Arch it will stop working until I boot into Windows and restart again.
I did all the troubleshooting that was on that website but none of that fixed my problem.
I can post all the command outputs you need.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I have got the same card.
There are two solutions.
Lame way:
1. As written in Wiki, the card needs to be off to work properly. When using Windows or Arch do not reboot. Just power off, wait for about 15 seconds, and then power on computer.
Connection should be established.
Correct way:
2. Install https://archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/r8168/ driver as suggested in Wiki, and blacklist r8169 driver.
a.
sudo pacman -S r8168 b.
sudo modprobe r8168 c.
sudo echo "blacklist r8169" > /etc/modprobe.d/r8169_blacklist.conf d. update your initrams eg.
sudo mkinitcpio -p linux There is also r8168 driver for kernel: linux-lts.
