Bug 478650 – net-misc/r8168-8.036.00 version bump for kernel 3.10.x

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description minaco2 2013-07-29 12:01:21 UTC]

Hi!

Please find attached r8168-8.036.00.ebuild and a patch so that it will 
compile with linux-3.10.x

r8168 is a NIC driver of Realtek. 
In the mother board for AMD, NIC which operates with this driver is adopted in many cases. 


net-misc/r8168/r8186-8.035.00.ebuild is failed to build with linux-3.10.x.
And I found new version for driver in https://code.google.com/p/r8168/


I suggest net-misc/r8168 Also, this ebuild is based on r8168-8.035.00.ebuild.

If you need r8168-8.035.00 , see #478652.

[Comment 9 Louis-Philippe 2013-10-02 01:46:07 UTC]

Do you guy's think this patch will get published anytime soon?

[Comment 10 Christian Birchinger (RETIRED) 2014-03-20 10:05:39 UTC]

r8168-8.038.00 is in the tree and it builds against kernel 3.13
