I think I'm having some driver-related issues on my Realtek NICs so I've been looking up how to install latest or more fitting drivers manually to see if it makes any difference. Found this page, gave it a go, but when doing apt install r8168-dkms -y, I get this error: installed r8168-dkms package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 10, which suggests that the method is slightly outdated. Reading some posts, I figured that Proxmox breaks compatibility with these '3rd-party' drivers quite regularly past v8.0, so before I dig into this rabbit hole I came to ask, is there a 'current' method of installing 'better' drivers or are there 'better' drivers at all?
