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,
