Driver Problem with r8169 Network Card after Kernel Update

[Pablo1732]

Hello,
I have a PC with a Realtek r8169 network card. Since the update from PVE 7 to PVE 8 (and thus the kernel update from 5.15 to 6.2). the driver of the network card crashes every few days. I have done a clean install to test. But has brought nothing. I believe that the driver is not stable in kernel 6. What can I do?

I have the same chip and have noticed in the logs that Realtek r8169 was the culprit of my crashes on PVE 8. If you find anything please let me know. I have only seen people post driver fixes for the 8168.

Have similar issue on my small setup - network connection is lost and get error packages on screen linked to the network card Realtek r8169.
Running the PVE8 version.

Hello,
I have installed the latest kernel of Proxmox and I have installed the correct driver. I used this article for that: https://medium.com/@pattapongj/how-...and-encountering-the-r8169-error-d2e322cc26ed
So far it works for me without any problems.
I hope this helps you.

How to RollBack to R8168 Driver from R8169
Should work on Debian also. Fixed but not 100 percent. Ice this card unless you must use it.
