So it's also impossible to compile the driver with the DDK. Can you post/email the binary driver you compiled? (preferably i686 or i386 architecture) After upgrading I have a similar problem but unfortunately it is now impossible for me to reach the system.

I would assume there is some technique of putting some rules into your <code>/etc/modprobe.d/</code> but I have never tried it. As I only have a single 8168 card, it was easier to remove the 8169 module. If anyone has more answers, please feel free to leave a comment!

What if I have both Realtek 8111c (onboard) and Realtek 8169SC(PCI)?? If I remove r1869.ko and replace it with r1868.ko, will both of them work? Thanks a lot Nice post… !!
