Probably something stupid I am doing wrong, but not sure what.

After upgrading from pm 7.0 to 7.1 my RTL8156 2.5Gb USB nic no longer works.

I did re-compile the 2.15.0 driver after update (since there was a new kernel in 7.1), just like I have every other upgrade. My RTL8152 1GB usb nic is working fine, so I think the driver loaded at least for that device...

Not 100% sure what to try next though.

Nevermind... I was able to modprobe -r the old module, re-make it, and then it worked again. Not sure why I had to do that, in the past make + make install + depmod was enough.

But regardless, it is working.
