realtek r8169-100 usb radio issue

[Dave Stevens]

in looking over a record of a previous issue along these lines in a 
link you provided a question arose about whether there was a file 
realtek.ko in the modules folder. I looked and there is. I rebooted 
and now dmesg shows (at the end) the text

26.797211] Generic FE-GE Realtek PHY r8169-100:00: attached PHY driver 
[Generic FE-GE Realtek PHY] (mii_bus:phy_addr=r8169-100:00, 
irq=IGNORE)
[   26.922749] r8169 0000:01:00.0 enp1s0: Link is Down

so I suppose I need to bring the link up, how?
