Hello,

I do no have it and my Debian package doesn't have it either. I cannot build and test linux-next kernels, as a minute ago. It searches for rtl_nic/rtl8105e-1.fw.

Please help.

Regards,

Piotr Hosowicz

I would think you could just download the linux driver from the vendor, and pluck the firmware out. Having spent a half hour trying to do that, I couldn't get there from here, so.. dunno.

I tried Realtek's website, but with no effect, they don't make the firmware donloadable.

You can get it there:

It has already been submitted to the maintainer of linux-firmware.

Hello,

The problem persists, I have on disk:

# ls /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/
rtl8105e-1.fw  rtl8168d-1.fw  rtl8168d-2.fw  rtl8168e-1.fw  rtl8168e-2.fw

And my NIC doesn't work. What do you mean saying that I can get it there? How can I contact the maintainer?

Please, help, I cannot test new kernels.

Regards,

Excuse me. I don't understand what your question is. Do you mean you cannot build the kernel without the firmware? Or, you just don't know where to download the firmware? Or, your NIC work abnormally after loading the firmware?

Quoted 1 line

From your information, I see the firmware in the correct path

"/lib/firmeare/rtl_nic/", so it seems fine.

Best Regards,
Hayes

Nevermind, the problem was in the kernel (bug), not firmware. Sorry for the noise.
