Bug#956868: Use Realtek's r8101 driver



Hello,

Thanks for confirming the new kernel has dropped support for this 
ethernet controller.

This arises some questions, tough:

1. The chipset is not that old (?). It comes embedded on a Compaq Mini 
CQ10-520ES (netbook), bought circa mid' 2011.

2. As many users are not able to manually compile the driver, could you 
please reconsider your decision of dropping this chipset? Having 
an ethernet link available for a first Debian install (or whatever 
distribution) is a must under some restricted environments.

3. Can you please pinpoint the latest kernel version where this chipset
was last supported?

Thanks,
