Realtek Rtl8111 Linux Driver

Posted on by admin

Aug 11, 2016. Image Source: wikipedia.org A lot of people will remember my guide how to get a RTL8111/RTL8168 running under your Linux box.

We have a desktop computer here which has Ubuntu installed. We want to install Windows 7 on an identical computer, but now have no network connection. Windows doesn't recognize the network card. Campbell hausfeld hs7810 manual dexterity.

On the Ubuntu PC I executed the following command:

When I search for Windows drivers using RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express (or other combinations) I only get Linux results.

Where can I find the Windows driver for this network card?

Otherwise, I would suggest you look up your motherboard model on the Gigabyte support website and download the ethernet driver from there.

Hope this helps.
