RTL 8169 driver



Package linux-headers-4.19.0-6-amd64

I'm writing to you after looking for days on a solution to a boot error I'm experiencing with the ethernet board on two machines, both have the same board provider. Both ran Mint in the past with no issues at all

[ [0;1;31mFAILED [0m] Failed to start [0;1;39mRaise network interfaces [0m.
See 'systemctl status networking.service' for details.

I enabled the use of nonfree repositories so as to get RTL drivers, tried several things out with no success at all. I inspect a 3rd box which has the same RTL board but runs LinuxMint flawless, the only difference I could see is that has a different kernel

Here some outputs that may help
