R8169 firmware patch

I want to deal with RTLD first. The attatched file is the linux-firmware patch. However, maybe it is fine to go along.

Thanks for your suggestion and reply. Best Regards, Hayes. Therefore I'd think it's safe to just make some noise about missing firmware images and not cease operations completely for this chipset.

Regards Stefan Lippers-Hollmann. Though it does clearly affect operation with some combinations of cable and link partner. There was a recent bug report on this, though I can't find it now. Sorry I haven't been more responsive on this. I assume it is a patch for the original firmware loaded from ROM or flash.

So I feel obliged to give users the choice to use the driver without installing non-free firmware. If you make the failure fatal I will probably revert that in Debian. Hayes Wang, maybe you know who is responsible for DVB division in your company?

I currently use your company's driver and it works just fine What I miss is datasheets on the device I can manage without them using your driver source as a reference, but datasheets will help me a lot simplifying things, and reduce bugs. And I need a official statement that driver you released is GPL-compatible. Thanks in advance, Maxim Levitsky. I have no technical argument against yours to make the failure fatal yet: even Realtek's wording is rather soft. I will reconsider it if things turn ugly.

Btw, it is not too hard to build a firmware-of-freedom binary : all zero should be fine here. Are you completely kidding me? Are you for real? Quick links. New to Debian Or Linux in general?

Post by sunrat » Your Nvidia graphics driver failed to build for your kernel. Did you install the matching kernel headers from backports? The firmware message is unrelated and most likely benign if your network is working. Post by Xeno Idaltu » 1 Since I already had Backport on all I did was: sudo apt install linux-image Whenever I try to run the command startx I get an error telling me that the command can not be found. Post by sunrat » So you have the headers. Maybe they just won't build for that kernel.

There is no backport available for that driver so you may just have to stick with kernel 4. No amount of tweaking is going to make it work until you get the driver module to build and that conf file is usually unnecessary once modules are built. It helps to provide info about your hardware when asking hardware questions. Post by Xeno Idaltu » I have an Nvidia M series that has no Vulkan suport and hence why this graphic card will forever use the xx-Legacy Version.

If the problem is Nvidia then that means I need to purge it and use Nouveau instead right? Is there a way to make Kernel 5. I don't want to purge Nvidia yet.

Post by stevepusser » The version in Bullseye is easily backported, and has been tested and confirmed to build on 5. IDK why backports hasn't added it to support their kernels.

I think that they should. Post by Xeno Idaltu » Sorry for late reply. The reason I tried upgrading the kernel was because my third party PS4 controller had no rumble support.

I thought maybe if I upgraded I could make it work.
