Version: 1.00 Date: 2005-08-15 This is the Linux device driver released for 1.RealTek RTL8168B (PCI-Express Gigabit Ethernet controller) 2.RealTek RTL8100E (PCI-Express Fast Ethernet controller) - kernel source tree (supported versions 2.4.x or 2.6.x) - compiler/binutils for kernel compilation Unpack the tarball : tar vzxf RTL8168B_8100E_linuxdrv_vxx.zip Change to the directory: cd RTL8168B_8100E Use the installation script: ./build.sh RTL8168B (or RTL8100E) Unpack the tarball : tar vzxf RTL8168B_8100E_linuxdrv_vxx.zip Change to the directory: cd RTL8168B_8100E The media can be forced to one of the 5 modes as follows. Cmd: "insmod RTL8168B media = SET_MEDIA" For example: "insmod RTL8168B media = 0x04" will force PHY to operate in 100Mpbs Half-duplex. SET_MEDIA can be: _10_Half = 0x01 _10_Full = 0x02 _100_Half = 0x04 _100_Full = 0x08 _1000_Full = 0x10 Force media type for multiple cards could be performed as: "insmod RTL8168B media=0x04,0x10" which force PHY to operate at 100Mbps half-duplex and 1000Mbps full-duplex. - Supports Jumbo Frame - Hardware Tx/Rx flow control
