Solution to the R8169 driver in centos 6.3

Recently, a centos server has been installed on the PC motherboard, but it always crashes from time to time. The various loads before the crash are very low. No specific problems can be found in multiple tests. Later, google searched the article again.

Ethtool-I eth0
Driver: r8169
Oh, the integrated r8169 chip, but I heard that this NIC may have some problems in Linux. I searched the internet and many people said that the built-in driver of this Nic CentOS is not good, then simply switch to the official one!
So on Realtek to search for R8169 driver, found, dozens of K quickly down, http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx? Langid = 3 & PNid = 4 & PFid = 4 & Level = 5 & Conn = 4 & DownTypeID = 3 & GetDown = false & Downloads = true # RTL8110S-32/RTL8110SB % 28L % 29/ RTL8169SB % 28L % 29/RTL8169SC % 28L % 29% 3Cbr % 3ERTL8169
Decompress, lsmod | grep r8169, then rmmod r8169, and then make clean modules
The result is incorrect at this time.
Make clean modules

Omitted later. What's going on? There are many undefined and many errors. Some netizens told me to install kernel-head and kernel-devel, but I have installed both of them.

The code is as follows:	Copy code
Rpm-qa | grep kernel Kernel-devel-2.6.18-164.15.1.el5 Kernel-devel-2.6.18-128.el5 Kernel-headers-2.6.18-164.15.1.el5 Kernel-2.6.18-128.el5

This is strange. A few developers told me to let me modify the driver source code to specify the missing and unfound variables one by one. I also need to change the source code ..... I used lspci to check if the driver is incorrect.
Lspci | grep Ethernet
. 0 Ethernet controller: Realtek semiconduco., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 03)
Isn't this R8168B! Why don't I install a driver... But why does the system recognize R8169? So I deleted all the modules and drivers about R8169 and restarted it. I found that the system still recognized it as R8169. I couldn't reinstall the R8168 driver. I found it on the official website.

Download the latest driver version is r8168-8.018.00, unzip a look, this simple directly to an execution permission and then./autorun. sh fully automated execution, huh, huh
Let's see which driver is used now.

The code is as follows:	Copy code
Ethtool-I eth0 Driver: r8168 Version: 8.018.00-NAPI Firmware-version: Bus-info:. 0

I restarted the network and asked my colleagues to continue running the test program. I ran OK for an hour without any problems. I found many similar problems during online search, it is caused by the R8169 NIC driver that comes with the system. We suggest you reinstall the driver if you get this Nic!

To install the file, go to make: ***/lib/modules/2.6.18-164. el5/build: No such file or

Check whether the current kernel version is used. If yes, install the software package of the same version as kernel-devel and kernel-headers.
