      I have a onboard R8168 lan card on my Asus H81T mobo with a Haswell CPU. I have been using r8189 drivers, but in 6.3 they are no longer working/ The error message says to include realtek.ko in initramfs.

      I have changed modules_load setting MODULES_NET from:

      r8169 e1000 tg3

      to:

      realtek e1000 tg3

      and it works on my machine.

      My research shows that r8169.ko is smaller in 6.3 and there is a r8168 driver you can download that is not part of the Funtoo system - it has a bug that can be resolved with a #define change (removing the weight parameter from the RTL_NAPI_CONFIG).
