[Steam Remote Play] Streaming through Steam only works on WiFi

I have been trying to diagnose what would be causing steam remote play to fail only when connected through my ethernet network. Connecting using WiFi on the same network functions as expected. The failure appears to happen when steam attempts to establish a handshake, where it just falls into idle state, at which point the stream window closes silently. This is the only noted difference from logs before the stream is terminated. The failing log output follows,

Connection succeeds when streaming using the steamlink app. However, this isn't a great solution due to software limitations of the application.

Re: [Steam Remote Play] Streaming through Steam only works on WiFi

Looks like my issue was fixed by installing a realtek specific driver. The default kernel module was causing silent failures
