Subject: Re: network failures w. r8169 (RTL8111/RTL8168B)


Hello, sorry for my bad english :-)
i have your problem, i have buy a jetway n92 330 mini-itx board, this board
have rtl 8111c gbit port.
When i have install endian this port don't work but there is work around.

Plese follow this post : http://efwsupport.com/index.php?topic=1132.0

there is a compiled driver for endian.

you download it, and after follow the step : option 1 or option 2 for
install.

for my the option 2 don't work. but the option 1 work fine...the link is
stable, but there is a problem.
when you go in endian via webgui you don't enter in the menu named state-->
state of the network because there is a various problem --the gui not
responding or the interface go down...
another the sistem don't se the traffic meter for this port. but the other
services work fine for me .

Best regards
