<div dir="ltr"><h3><font><span style="font-weight:normal">Hi,</span></font></h3><p>I found from nm-tool output that my system is using Driver: r8169.</p><p>lspci showed this text: "<i>RTL8101E/RTL8102E PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller</i>"<br>
</p><p>I searched over the Internet "r8169" and found that the above text occurring in <a href="http://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/R8169.html">http://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/R8169.html</a>. but saying "device: <code>8136</code>"</p>
<p>Q) How can an "8169" work well for "8136"? If it does and if I'm to compile for any other chipset, how would I know if the exact device/driver no. isn't going to appear?<br></p><p>Q) Also, there are many "device: <code><other numbers></code><code><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><font>" in the quote below. Does it mean that all these devices work well with the driver I'm using?</font></span></code> </p>

<p>Say Y here if you have a Realtek 8169 PCI Gigabit Ethernet adapter.</p>
<p>To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
will be called <span style="background-color:rgb(255,153,0)">r8169</span>. This is recommended.</p>
